I read it all, and it is a good and fair summary of what regenerated irreversibly committed servants trusting in the Jesus of the entire Bible ought to grasp, in their growth.

About the Reformation: yes, moveable print was invented a few years before the reform principle broke loose, but the access to information and raid communication of it hastened the modern age of Bible publication.

However, one must pay respects to Desiderius Erasmus (the illegitimate son of a Catholic priest) who researched and colllated the best manuscripts for a publication of the Byzantine/majority textform.

This Greek text gave Luther and then Calvin a true New Testament superseding the poorer and biased Vulgate Latin translation, which was not generally understood by populations conversing only in their particular vernacular languages.

It was the translations of Erasmus' Greek text that gave force to the public recognition of Romanism's many fallacies and led to reform both within and without the Catholic culture.

Thus Erasmus was the father of the reformation, with printing as its tool for multiplication of Bibles in the peoples' tongues.

It's fascinating that the Greek Orthodox endorse most of "Romanism's many fallacies". This is clearly due to their defective knowledge of Greek.
