His translation was published in September , six months after he had returned to Wittenberg. In the opinion of the 19th-century theologian and church historian Philip Schaff ,. The richest fruit of Luther's leisure in the Wartburg, and the most important and useful work of his whole life, is the translation of the New Testament, by which he brought the teaching and example of Christ and the Apostles to the mind and heart of the Germans in life-like reproduction.
It was a republication of the gospel. He made the Bible the people's book in church, school, and house. Outline of Bible-related topics.
Luther worked on refining the translation up to his death in There were original woodcuts included in the edition issued by the Hans Lufft press in Wittenberg. They reflected the recent trend since of including artwork to reinforce the textual message. Luther added the word "alone" allein in German to Romans 3: Apologist James Swan lists numerous Catholic sources that also translated Romans 3: He called the Letter of James "an epistle of straw," finding little in it that pointed to Christ and His saving work. He also had harsh words for the Revelation of John, saying that he could "in no way detect that the Holy Spirit produced it.
The four which follow have from ancient times had a different reputation. Luther chose to place the Biblical apocrypha between the Old and New Testaments. These books and addenda to Biblical canon of the Old Testament are found in the ancient Greek Septuagint but not in the Hebrew Masoretic text.
Luther left the translating of them largely to Philipp Melanchthon and Justus Jonas. The Luther Bible was not the first translation of the Bible into German. Luther's German Bible and its widespread circulation facilitated the emergence of a standard, modern German language for the German-speaking peoples throughout the Holy Roman Empire , an empire extending through and beyond present-day Germany.
It is also considered a landmark in German literature , with Luther's vernacular style often praised by modern German sources for the forceful vigor "kraftvolles Deutsch" [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] with which he translated the Holy Scripture.
A large part of Luther's significance was his influence on the emergence of the German language and national identity. This stemmed predominantly from his translation of the Bible into the vernacular, which was potentially as revolutionary as canon law and the burning of the papal bull.
Previous translations had contained poor German, and had been from the Vulgate Latin translation, i. Hans Lufft , the Bible printer in Wittenberg, printed over one hundred thousand copies between and , which went on to be read by millions. Luther's New Testament was so much multiplied and spread by printers that even tailors and shoemakers, yea, even women and ignorant persons who had accepted this new Lutheran gospel, and could read a little German, studied it with the greatest avidity as the fountain of all truth.
Some committed it to memory, and carried it about in their bosom. In a few months such people deemed themselves so learned that they were not ashamed to dispute about faith and the gospel not only with Catholic laymen, but even with priests and monks and doctors of divinity. The spread of Luther's Bible translation had implications for the German language.
The German language had developed into so many dialects that German speakers from different states could barely understand each other. Nobody seems to care sufficiently for it; and every preacher thinks he has a right to change it at pleasure and to invent new terms. Luther popularized the Saxon dialect of German [ citation needed ] and adapted it for theology and religion, which subsequently made it the common literary language used in books.
He enriched the vocabulary with that of German poets and chroniclers. Luther's Bible has been hailed as the first German 'classic', comparable to the English King James Version of the Bible, which became one of the first English classics. German-speaking Protestant writers and poets such as Klopstock, Herder and Lessing owe stylistic qualities to Luther's vernacular Bible. Luther's vernacular Bible also had a role in the creation of a German national identity. Because it penetrated every German-speaking Protestant home, the language of his translation became part of a German national heritage.
It gradually became infused into the blood of the whole nation and occupied a permanent space in a German history. In a sense the vernacular Bible also empowered and liberated all Protestants who had access to it. The existence of the translation was a public affirmation of reform, such as might deprive any elite or priestly class of exclusive control over words, as well as over the word of God.
In some major controversies of the time, even some evangelicals, let alone the commoners, did not understand the reasons for disagreement; and Luther wanted to help those who were confused to see that the disagreement between himself and the Roman Catholic Church was real and had significance. So translation of the Bible would allow the common people to become aware of the issues at hand and develop an informed opinion.
In this sense, Luther's vernacular Bible acted as a force towards the liberation of the German people. The combination of Luther's social teachings and the vernacular Bible undoubtedly had a role in the slow emancipation of western European society from a long phase of clerical domination. He had claimed Holy Scripture to be the sole authority, and through his translation every individual would be able to abide by its authority, and might nullifying his or her need for a monarchical pope.
Although not as significantly as on German linguistics, Luther's Bible also made a large impression on educational reform throughout Germany. Luther's goal of a readable, accurate translation of the Bible became a stimulus towards universal education, since everyone should be able to read in order to understand the Bible. Thus his vernacular Bible could become a means of establishing a form of law, order and morality which everyone could abide by, if all could read and understand it.
The possibility of understanding the vernacular Bible allowed Luther to found a State Church and educate his followers into a law-abiding community. Finally, Luther's translated Bible also had international significance in the spread of Christianity. Luther's translation influenced the English translations by William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale who in turn inspired many other translations of the Bible such as the Bishops' Bible of , the Douay—Rheims Bible of —, and the King James Version of In a metaphor, it was Luther who 'broke the walls' of translation in western Europe and once such walls had fallen, the way was open to all, including some who were quite opposed to Luther's beliefs.
The worldwide implications of the translation far surpassed the expectations of even Luther himself. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Luther Bible Martin Luther's bible.
