The Printing Press makes history.


But there was one thing different this time! The Gutenberg printing press was now a reality and Luther had printed his 95 Theses before he tacked them to the Wittenburg door. Within two weeks, copies of the Theses had spread all over Germany. And the word kept traveling all over Europe! There was no secret to what was said! People read it and discussed it.

Many think that this printed piece began the Protestant Reformation. People began to like the idea of doing their own reading and making their own decisions about what to believe.
