“One of the great rediscoveries of the Reformation—especially of Martin Luther—was that the Word of God comes to us in a form of a Book. In other words, Luther grasped this powerful fact: God preserves the experience of salvation and holiness from generation to generation by means of a Book of revelation, not a bishop in Rome, and not the ecstasies of Tomas Muenzer and the Zwickau prophets. The Word of God comes to us in a Book. That rediscovery shaped Luther and the Reformation.”
