Along with the incarnate Word and the oral word of preaching, God has chosen the medium of books to proclaim His goodness to us. The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century saw the dramatic power of the printed word to bring light out of darkness as literature changed the thought and life of nations, using pamphlets and tracts extensively to bring about spiritual revolution. In A Religion of Books, Bockmuehl traces the role books played in the Reformation and through various movements of the Spirit in the following centuries, and addresses how the written word shapes and might yet shape political movements.
