Reformation of the Bible The Bible of the Reformation

"Jaroslav Pelikan's 'The Reformation of the Bible/The Bible of the Reformation' is a splendidly illustrated catalogue of an exhibition on Scripture in 16th-century Europe that was prepared for the Bridwell Library of Southern Methodist University....What he shows especially is how thoroughly the explosion of print in early modern Europe was a biblical explosion, and then how much that biblical explosion shaped study of classical languages, affected every facet of European religious life, established a wide range of popular pastimes for ordinary people, and inspired major efforts in all of the arts. Pelikan's introduction, as well as the carefully chosen illustrations representing the Bibles and Bible-related books of Protestants, but also Catholics and Jews, and in many European languages (plus Arabic) makes a profound, if implicit point: Remove Scripture from the 16th century and there is almost no Western culture in the 16th century."Price, David is the author of 'Reformation of the Bible The Bible of the Reformation' with ISBN 9780300066678 and ISBN 0300066678.
