What about the disputes over the translation of the bible from latin to English and other languages. I was thinking for instance of the classic saying of Hugh Latimer to his friend Nicholas Ridley, as they were both about to be burned as heretics.
-- Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out. -- The issues of translation of the bible to English or other languages is/was very similar to the attitudes many conservative Islamics have towards the Koran. In other words a prelude to the reformation. I just hope that if its the case with Islam its a lot more peaceful than the christian reformation. >It's been a LOOOONG time since my last church history class....but I thought >the Reformation and resulting schism that gave rise to the Protestant line >of Christianity, was more in response to disputes over the papacy and the >granting of indulgences, among other things.....? > >If there was scholarly dispute over the divinity of anything, it was the >pope...i don't recall any similar dispute over sacred text???? > >On Jan 15, 2008 1:03 PM, Larry Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:250998 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
