[edit] Luther did not translate to "erode the influence of priests"
Luther did not want priests or higher clerics to lord it over the people's faith. He wanted to get people as close to Christ as he could by putting the Bible into their own words. Luther was a conservative, not a radical reformer. This article has the makings of a good article. I hope that those who initiated it will not see this as a criticism but as an enhancement of what they did.drboisclair 01:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kudos
David, kudos on a very well done page. Might you consider using Schaff's material on the Luther Bible here?

- I think that this material can and should be integrated into the article, but I think that after having incorporating the data the text could be transferred to Wikiquote via Transwiki. Schaaf-Herzog sub loco Martin Luther was the material out of which the Martin Luther article was written. I will work on incorporating it here if there is no objection. --Drboisclair 18:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry, I got the two sources mixed up! The source of the long quotation is Schaff's history, not Schaaf's encyclopedia.--Drboisclair 20:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Schaff material archived
I thought that since the material was rather lengthy I would put it in the above archive. The material in the main article has been transwikied to Wikiquote. I hope that this meets with everyone's approval. I will be integrating the Schaff material into the main article by quotation and allusion.--Drboisclair 16:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
