More than an invention. For nearly 6000 years, authors have chronicled the story of Gutenberg's revolutionary invention, the movable type printing press, and yet the whole story has never fully been told until now. God's Word and Gutenberg's Bible explores the miraculous and providential incidents surrounding the invention of the printing press. It places in context the religious, scientific, political, and historical events that inspired this great man's vision and passion for printing the Bible. Gutenberg saw, as only a few men have ever seen, the demand and need for God's Word. His invention literally transformed the night of the Dark Ages into the daylight of the Reformation. This intriguing history contains dozens of full-color visuals including timelines, maps, diagrams, and original artwork. Also included is a census showing the location of the remaining Gutenberg Bibles known to exist.

Of particular interest are reproductions of 27 of the illuminated pages from the Insel-Verlag copy of the Gutenberg Bible and their English translations.
