Martin
Luther published his first translation of the Scriptures into German in
1522. The first printing quickly sold out and had an immense influence
on Germany and the German language, and were read, cherished, and
memorised by ordinary people. This New Testament paved the way for
others during the Protestant Reformation and beyond to produce
translations of the Scriptures from the biblical languages into their
native tongues. Click the link below to watch a short video on Luther's
