How did Luther’s 1522 translation of the New Testament impact the church and society? Rev. Dr. Gerhard Bode (Professor and Chairman of the Department of Historical Theology, Director of the Center for Reformation Research at Concordia Seminary, St Louis) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about Martin Luther’s translation of the New Testament in 1522, including the translations that existed prior to this time, how Luther translated and published this text, how risky it was to have an unauthorized translation of the Bible at this time, and how Luther’s translation has impacted the life of the church to this day.
