Collections Feature: Froschauer Bible The Froschauer Bible was the earliest complete German-language Bible, as well as the first German-language Bible to be used widely by Anabaptists. First completed in the year 1529, the Froschauer Bible was not initially intended for an Anabaptist audience, however it was quickly adopted and valued by the movement in its early years. Join Mennonite Life as we continue to commemorate 500 years of Anabaptism at a special Collections Feature showcasing centuries-old Froschauer Bibles Thursday, November 6, 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room. Archivist & Librarian Julia Wiker and guest speaker Isaac Lowry will review the history of the Froschauer Bible's multiple printings and highlight the unique traits of several Bibles owned by Mennonite Life, including family records. This event will not be recorded or live-streamed. This event is complimentary but requires registration. Register at mennonitelife.org/events.
