History

Answer:

Luther translated the Bible into the German language, most of the society was illiterate, the Clergy had control of knowledge, its members were studious and educated, in contrast to the illiterate society that acquired their knowledge through oral transmission, memorization and the repetition of the biblical texts. Luther made access to knowledge, information and education possible, in order to achieve the search for truth. Luther facilitated the spread of Protestantism, although he was not the first to print the Bible in German, which translated from a sacred manuscript into the mother tongue of that nation. In this way he subtracted the power of the Catholic Church over the German people, and preceded the Protestant reform, which occurred thanks to the impression of the Bible that Luther had translated. Luther's intention was for the people to have direct access to the source without the need for intermediaries, making possible the free interpretation of sacred texts and the eradication of illiteracy in German society.
