Answer:
Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727), a renowned English author, physicist, astronomer, and theologian, wrote down more than 10 million words to document his scientific, religious, and academic works and discoveries. Many of his written words were published after his death. Through his writings, people increased their understanding of the sciences.
The Protestant reformers of the 16th Century, led by Martin Luther, also used the method of writing down their religious beliefs to increase people's understanding of their religious issues.
Explanation:
But before then, the Catholic Church and her theologians had written down volumes of works about various subjects. The only difference was that much of the Church documents were not made available for people to freely read. They were actually reserved for the educated because the Church believed strongly that half education was very dangerous. We can still feel the misinterpretations of the scriptural, scientific, and technological works today. Some people are always reducing divine and philosophical matters to their human levels of understanding once they have the slightest opportunity to interpret mysteries.
