Picture:  In 2016 TASCHEN produced a hard copy two volume reprint of the 1534 Luther Bible for a little more than $100.  “Based on a precious copy of the original and printed in color, it reveals the multilayered splendor of this publication, showcasing the meticulous script, elaborate initials, and exquisite color woodcuts from the workshop of Lucas Cranach.  In an accompanying booklet, Stephan Füssel, director of the Institute for Book Sciences at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, adds his expertise to the publication with detailed descriptions of the illustrations, as well as an introduction exploring Luther’s life and the seismic significance of his bible.”

Today we continue the history of Unity and Realignment between 1917 and before 1930 of the Lutheran church bodies in North America.
