LUTHER, MARTIN Der Psalter Nach Der Deutschen Ubersetzung
Wurttembergische Bibelanstalt, Stuttgart, 1966. Small Hard Cover. Like New/No Jacket. Minimal shelf wear. Binding tight, pages clean & bright. GERMAN TEXT. "Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 - February 18, 1546) was a German monk, theologian, and church reformer. The key tenets of Luther's theology -- that the Bible is the sole source of religious authority; that grace is the only means of salvation; and that the church is a community of believers, rather than a hierarchical structure of clergy against laity -- helped to inspire the Protestant Reformation and, as a result, significantly shaped the course of Western civilization. Luther's translation of the Bible into the German vernacular had a significant impact on both the church and on German culture. The translation made the text more accessible to ordinary people, furthered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the translation of the English King James Bible. His hymns inspired the development of congregational singing within Christianity. His marriage to Katharina von Bora reintroduced the practice of clerical marriage within many Christian traditions. Luther is also known for his writings about the Jews, the nature and consequences of which are the subject of scholarly debate. His statements that Jews' homes should be destroyed, their synagogues burned, money confiscated, and liberty curtailed were revived and given widespread publicity by the Nazis in Germany in 1933-45. As a result of this and his revolutionary theological views, his legacy remains controversial." -- Wikipedia.
