Was it Gutenberg that made printing possible and reformation happens after that. I wonder was it reading it release them from oppression or just being told what they need to know oppressed them?
there's 114 chapter in the Quran and I've only read 90 of its chapter and I read the translation because I can't understand arabic.

That you may choose to base your unbelief and your salvation on the deeds of others rather than choosing to live righteously according to what the Lord had intended.

It comes down to political power, not spirituality. Emperor Constantine in the 4th century CE realised early on that the new Catholicism was a growing force. Where his predecessors had tried to eradicate it with the merciless slaughter of Christians, Constantine saw a means to power and cohesion of his failing empire. Instead of swords the Romans took their bibles as the newly adopted religion, now sanctioned by their Emperor, to conquer lands in so-called peace in the of name of the one God. The result turned out, as history has shown, to be the same as the swords.
