What will be an ideal response?

The innovation of the printing press and the subsequent publication of the Ninety-Five Theses (Reading 17.4) and Luther’s vernacular German translation of the Bible were key to the spread of Lutheran ideas. The spread of Reform ideas within Germany and into Switzerland spurred Müntzer to lead the peasants to revolt in the Peasant War and led Zwingli and Calvin to promote their communities as ideal examples of Luther’s reformist ideas.
