Martin Luther's 1522 September Testament marked a significant milestone in Bible translation, making Scripture accessible to ordinary German people in their native tongue and inspiring similar efforts across Europe. Building on the emerging trend of vernacular Bible translations in the early sixteenth century, Luther's translation quickly became the definitive version in linguistics, theology, and culture, particularly with the publication of the complete Bible in 1534. The production of New Testaments and Bibles in French, English, and other languages kept pace, further solidifying Luther's influence. Over a quarter-century of Bible publishing, Luther and his associates continually refined and improved their translation and interpretation methodologies, which had a profound impact on Bible translation, reading, and exegesis for scholars and ordinary Christians alike. These efforts extended beyond Luther's lifetime, shaping the field of Bible translation for generations to come.
The Wittenberg Bible project, which resulted in the creation of the September Testament, is explored in the context of Martin Luther's Bible. The legacy of this landmark text is traced from the sixteenth century to the present day, encompassing its influence in Europe and the broader world. Essays from a diverse group of esteemed experts are included in the commemorative volume, drawing upon the insights gained from the 2022 Martin Luther: Bible Translator, Illustrator, and Publisher International Conference held at Union Theological College, Belfast. These essays provide critical new perspectives on the linguistic, hermeneutical, and theological history and influence of Luther's Bible, shedding light on its enduring significance and impact.
