Luther's translation had quite an impact on the perception of the Gospel, deflecting it towards a secular friendly, solo mio, environment in which Church property could easily be confiscated and divided up among Luther's backers.
Luther is said to have claimed that our total depravity makes justification nothing more than fresh snow covering a dungheap. However, no matter the snow job the reformation tries to pull, the dungheap that is Luther's theology still stinks.
As for his eliminating books, St. Jerome's Vulgate contained the entire Canon as determined by the Church in 381 AD.
Peace be with you.
