[Invincibly Ignorant]

Zwingli and Luther were the first Christians--successfully--to to start movements that studied the Bible as rabbinical Jews study the Torah and Muslims study the Koran, as the literal language of God.

And you'd have a tough time convincing many Messianic Jews that Luther attempted Torah discipline. He's made as many anti-jewish remarks out of ignorance as many Catholics do. Your assertion is ridiculous.

I didn't say that Luther was a rabbinical scholar, only that he limited Christianity to what he could find in the Bible. That is what he had left after he repudiated pope, council and bishops. To him, as to the Jew and Muslims, Christianity became a religion of the Book.
