God's Message

This is the English translation of “Botschaft Gottes”, a German condensed New Testament. The testament was published in 1940 in an effort to bring knowledge of the New Testament to modern men and women who lack time or inclination to read the entire New Testament. In its first run over 200,000 copies were sold, making it a success. Unfortunately due to wartime paper shortages it was not able to have a second print run. At the end of World War II most copies were destroyed along with many other Christian works by Lutheran and Catholic authors. The testament has been translated into English in an effort to make this work of the Deutsche Christen Faith Movement available to Americans and other English speakers. The work was created by German Lutheran scholars of note. A “Scriptural Directory of Contents” is inclued, as in the original, in order to allow readers to know and search the scriptures wherefrom the condensed text is derived.
