This new, large print Luther Bible from the German Bible Society boasts a clear, readable, 14-point font for those who need or prefer a larger text. This edition of Luther's German Bible translation (the 2017 revised version) comes in three volumes for easy handling, and its one-column layout and clear interior design facilitate easy reading. The appendix provides further information, such as a timeline, definitions for keywords, and information on measurements, weights, and monetary values in the Bible. The Large Print Luther Bible was designed in cooperation with DeBeSS (an organization that provides pastoral care to blind and visually impaired Christians) and was tailored specifically to the needs of the elderly and people with poor eyesight. The Large Print Luther Bible is particularly suited for: * Students or readers of German who prefer a large typeface * People with poor eyesight or with strained eyes * Those who prefer to read aloud with a larger font About the translation: Luther's translation has been recommended by the Evangelical Church in Germany for Protestants both in religious education and Bible translation. This edition features an updated German translation of the Bible that retains Luther's language in many places while conveying his more difficult or ambiguous terms into modern German, giving it at once a timeless and modern feel. In 1534, Martin Luther and his colleagues translated most of the Apocrypha from the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), and only had very unreliable original text editions available. Therefore the Apocrypha was partly retranslated for this 2017 edition, using the language and readability of Luther's translation as a model. The result is a German translation that (1) is based on the Septuagint, (2) can be compared with other translations of the Apocrypha, (3) is suitable for academic use, and (4) can still be compared with older Luther editions by reason of partially duplicated verse references. With the exception of Psalms, which is a single column, the biblical text is presented in two columns. Features include: * Outlines at the beginning of each book * Cross-references as footnotes to the text * Maps inside front and back covers * A subject index
