some people believed that the church should not be allowed to sell indulgences. They also believed that individuals should interpret the Bible themselves. Others believed that only the Pope and other church officials interpret the Bible. This led some people to leave the Roman Catholic church

There are many ways to interpret the Bible. It can be interpreted literally, allegorically, as history, as a set of historical novels, as theology alone, and so on.With the advent of historical criticism, it is now difficult to interpret the entire Bible literally and, in any case, archaeologists have shown the impossibility of much in the Bible that was once regarded as reliable history. Nevertheless, a significant number of people still regard a literal reading of the Bible as at least one valid way to interpret it.

The translation of the Bible into German was important because, prior to this, it was only really available in Latin. Since the majority of people could not understand Latin, this meant that the Bible (and also church services and rites, which were also in Latin) were incomprehensible to them. By translating the Bible into the language of the people, Martin Luther made it accessible to them and allowed them to read and interpret it on their own, rather than through the intermediary of the Catholic church.
