There is every chance that Gutenberg thought it right and proper that he first bring the bible to 'the masses' (remembering of course the literacy rate). It may also have been the safest option, both economically and politically. None the less he went bankrupt before he could produce a second major work. He pre-dates Galileo by a century or so, so the Dialogue came into a world with an establish printing industry and so was propagated very quickly.
