This new article How Luther went viral is an interesting look at how the printing press enabled public debate during the time of the Reformation. Its a good read, not dry at al!

Speaking of Luther, have you seen that Steven Ozment has a new title coming out?

Excellent! I will be getting myself a copy shortly as well (I love me some Ozment!).

Since when is the Economist dry? (says this long time subscription holder) ;)

The Economist isn't in general. A lot of scholarly publications on the Reformation ARE dry however, so I've started noting which ones aren't, so people know which ones are easier to read and which ones they need to be wide awake and caffeinated for.
