Published during a period of intense religious and cultural change in Europe, this edition aimed to provide a reliable and comprehensible translation of the New Testament. Its release coincided with a growing movement for religious reform and the desire to engage the laity with scripture in their native language, fostering a deeper personal connection to the biblical texts and contributing to the broader spread of Protestant ideals.
