AB - In an age when written language was new and sparsely used, the Gospelwas spread orally by Jesus Christ. The words of Christ were soon putdown into what became scriptures; and the job of interpreting and preservingthe holy words fell on the clergy. They monopolized the written scriptureand Latin - the mediaeval common tongue - thereby holding dominanceover the laymen and the largely illiterate commoners. The establishmentof universities and growth of the urban population undermined thechurches and monasteries. The exclusive employers of scripture attemptedto control the laymen through various means. A case in point was the prohibitionof bibles. However, such policies disintegrated, as the use of thewritten language jumped with the advent of the printing technology. Thelettering system had transformed from a governing tool of the exclusiveto a means of resistance by the masses.
