May I say at least that this is news to me: Luther playing the recorder, and Luther playing and singing in taverns. > His 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God' wasn't only > sung in churches. Right, it was also sung on stakes and before battles, i.e. when facing eternity. > It wasn't only the Holy Bible that he took out of the sacred precincts and > brought to the secular. This is the third news to me, Luther brought the Bible to the secular. Keep plucking!
