| Publisher Description: Martin Luther's Bible translation was a milestone in the history of the Reformation. At the same time Luther's powerful language had a lasting impact on the New High German which was beginning to develop at that time. His neologisms are still in use today and the Christmas Story in the sound of his translation has become a common cultural heritage. But how exactly his translation came into existence? Have there been any predecessors? What are the special features of this translation? Why is it necessary to revise it from time to time? These questions are treated in this anthology on Luther's Bible and its history, edited by Margot Kassmann and Martin Rosel. With richly illustrated texts and in a comprehensible manner renowned theologians shed a light on the most important book of the history of German theology and language. |
