In this inaugural episode of our new video series, “Liana’s Favorite Books,” American Bible Society’s beloved librarian, Dr. Liana Lupas, is pleased to share a historic Gothic translation of the Gospels. This 1671 edition is a polyglot containing the Gothic, Swedish, Islandic, and Latin texts.
The Goths were the first Germanic tribe to accept Christianity and to have a Bible in their language. In fact, this is one of the earliest translations of the Bible ever produced!
We hope you enjoy this Bible adventure with Dr. Lupas:
