Philip Ball Quotes

...a Copy Of His Ninty-five Theses, A Formal Declaration Of His Arguments Against Indulgences. This Is The Document That Luther Is Said To Have Nailed To The Church Door In Wittenberg On October 31, 1517. If It Happened At All, It Was Not Quite As Dramatic As It Sounds - This Was Not An Uncommon Way To Distribute Pamphlets And Polemics, And The Theses, Written In Latin, Would Not Have Been Accessible To Most Of The Lay Townspeople. But The Timing - On The Eve Of All Saints' Day - Made The Challenge Auspicious, And The Document Was Soon Thereafter Distributed In A German Translation By A Local Printer.
