Here's a great article on the reformation & the importance of the King James Bible:
http://www.latter-dayhomeschooling.com/2011/10/learning-about-reformation.html
On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther, a Catholic clergyman, nailed a document he wrote, identified as his Ninety-five Theses, to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany. It was meant to promote discussion of some of the Catholic church's practices which he did not think matched the teachings of the Bible. It sparked a reformation where more and more people began to question the teachings of the Catholic Church and also began a movement that brought the Bible to the common man.
Martin Luther was not the first, nor the last of what we call the Reformers, but it was his act that became the tipping point.
Why is this information important for us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?....

Thanks for the post. We already had Oct. 16th on our calendar to watch the program on BYU TV! Can't wait--it should be good.
Preston and I have a movie called Luther, it is really good. We recommend it. Preston first watched it on his mission. It is one of our favorite movies.
