In [[anno domini|A.D.]] 1515, Martin Luther rejected the elaborate four-fold ''literal, moral, allegorical, anagogical'' hermeneutic that had been predominant throughout the Medieval centuries, which had led to some very far-fetched allegorizing of the bible, leaving scriptural interpretation in the hands of the experts, who alone were deemed capable of discerning the deeper things that bible passages really meant, according to what is called ''[[sensus plenior]]''. In place of this allegorical hermeneutic, Luther proposed what he termed a “grammatical-historical” hermeneutic, in which each Bible passage had one basic meaning, which was firmly rooted in historical truth, and is related accurately according to the common principles of ordinary human language.
