What impact did the printing press have on religious reform movements of the 1500s?
Several examples of documents which were greatly aided by the press were the “95 Theses Against Indulgences” by Luther, written in 1517, as well as his German Bible published some years later. The latter especially was important as people could read the word of God for themselves in their own language and thus understand what was God’s will and word rather than the words and traditions of men.
