The Bible has been handed down over generations in the language of the Israelites or Hebrews and eventually written down in Hebrew. The books of this first Bible were translated into Aramaic (the language of Jesus) 400 years before Christ and later translated into Greek. 500 to 600 years, after about the second century AD, carried out the translation of the biblical texts in Latin. Any translation of the Bible is both a reinterpretation that offered ample material for a discussion and offers. Because with a translation is not only the literary texts of the Bible transported, but also the theological content.
The King James has been revised several times since the first edition in 1534 and linguistically assimilated. Nevertheless, it is still the official edition of the Bible of the Protestant church. Luther's literary estate is also huge. He was not only a reformer, he is also one of the most important German writers of all time. His literary work is huge, comparable to its importance for the German studies with the Goethe or Thomas Mann.
