Schlachter Bible

Schlachter was a preacher of the Evangelische Gesellschaft in Bern, Switzerland influenced by the holiness movement.

In 1905, the so-called Miniaturbibel was published, the first German language Bible version in the twentieth century.

The Miniatur-Bible was one of the smallest Bibles ever printed in the German language.

By 1911, the year of Schlachter's death, he had completed 13 editions of his Bible.

All editions of the Schlachter Bible came in three formats: there was a pocket-edition, a hand-edition, and a greater family-edition.
