There are few discoveries in life that are truly unique. Most of what we call "discoveries" are actually "rediscoveries." The great surge of Christianity which we call "Protestantism," often anchors itself upon the "discovery" of Luther --justification by faith. Yet, I'm sure Luther would credit it a rediscovery of something affirmed by St. Augustine, that both gained from St. Paul's writing to the Romans. And, Paul learned it from Christ, who called his teaching the fulfillment of the law and the prophets, whose faith was in the God of Abraham.
