Would you mind elaborating on this comment? Thanks.
The Reformation produced a scholar's Bible, and preaching became largely a commentary on that text. In protestantism there is no sacerdotal priesthood. In the First Century, after the destruction of the Temple, the priestly class disappeared, or at least lost its primary role. Anglicanism is an exception to this, but the Protestant minister is, like the Rabbi, primarily a teacher of Scripture. There are of course considerable differences, arising from the different natures of the communities.
