Martin Luther's Bible

Martin Luther's Bible refers to his translation of the Bible into German in the 16th century. By translating scripture from Latin and Greek into accessible German, Luther made the Bible more available to ordinary people, encouraging personal reading and understanding of Christian teachings. His work helped shape the German language and played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation. Luther’s translation emphasized clarity and fidelity to original texts, fostering individual faith and challenging the church’s authority, which ultimately contributed to religious and cultural change across Europe.
