The Peoples Book: The Reformation and the Bible (Wheaton Theology Conference Series)

Five hundred years ago, Martin Luthers NinetyFive Theses caught Europe by storm and initiated the Reformation, which fundamentally transformed both the church and society. Yet by Luthers 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 Biblesgrounded in the original languages, enabled by advancements in printing, and lauded by the theological principles of sola Scriptura and the priesthood of all believerscontributed to an everwidening circle of Bible readers and listeners among the people they served. This collection of essays from the 2016 Wheaton Theology Conferencethe 25th anniversary of the conferencebrings together the reflections of church historians and theologians on the nature of the Bible as the peoples 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 Bibles 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 peoples book today.
