The conversation will consider the September Testament's presentation and paratextual material, Luther's use of Erasmus's Greek and Latin New Testament of 1519, and Luther’s resemblances to and divergence from previous translations into German. Dr. Cameron will discuss the way that Luther continued to revise and edit his translation of the New Testament from 1522 until the end of his life in 1546.
Named after the world-renowned Richard C. Kessler Reformation Collection held at Pitts Theology Library, these online, 30-45 minute conversations offer opportunities for the general public to learn about the events in Europe the 16th century and to consider what they may tell us about the issues facing our communities. Conversations in a given academic semester focus on a single contemporary theme and trace it back to the Reformers. These conversations are free and open to the public, but registration is required.
