Luther

Ninety-five theses against indulgences. At Worms, told to recant, he does not. Then he translates the Bible into German.

In plain words

Luther sets out ninety-five theses against indulgences; told to recant at Worms, he refuses, then translates the New Testament into German: grace alone, not for sale, with the text outside control, in the people's own language and on the press, all at once.

The mechanism

THE INVERSION REVERSED BY NAME — sola gratia: grace alone, not purchasable, not a credit instrument. Text outside custody, in the vernacular, on the press, all three at once
