Would you be pleased to know that the fact that we can even read and write and learn and every language is due to the invention of a German in the 1400's who invtented the printing press? Please forgive me for not remembering the exact name or year.
It was almost immediately within that time period that King James himself accessed this invention to have the Holy Bible written and published for the whole world, which even the early church did not have.
