Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses caught
Europe by storm and initiated the Reformation, which fundamentally
transformed both the church and society. Yet by Luther's own
estimation, his translation of the Bible into German was his
crowning achievement. The Bible played an absolutely vital role in
the lives, theology, and practice of the Protestant Reformers. In
addition, the proliferation and diffusion of vernacular
Bibles-grounded in the original languages, enabled by advancements
in printing, and lauded by the theological principles of sola
Scriptura and the priesthood of all believers-contributed to an
ever-widening circle of Bible readers and listeners among the
people they served. This collection of essays from the 2016 Wheaton
Theology Conference-the 25th anniversary of the conference-brings
together the reflections of church historians and theologians on
the nature of the Bible as "the people's book." With care and
insight, they explore the complex role of the Bible in the
Reformation by considering matters of access, readership, and
authority, as well as the Bible's place in the worship context,
issues of theological interpretation, and the role of Scripture in
creating both division and unity within Christianity. On the 500th
anniversary of this significant event in the life of the church,
these essays point not only to the crucial role of the Bible during
the Reformation era but also its ongoing importance as "the
people's book" today.
