The "German Bible" refers to various translations of the Bible into the German language. One of the most significant translations is the Luther Bible, completed by Martin Luther in 1534, which played a crucial role in the Protestant Reformation and helped standardize the German language. Over the years, many other translations have emerged, catering to different denominations and linguistic preferences. These include the Schlachter Bible and the Elberfelder Bible. Today, the German Bible continues to be an essential text for both religious and cultural purposes in German-speaking countries.
