Best Answer

Lutherans accept the Biblical canon accepted by the early Church as formally counted in the Synod of Hippo and the Council of Carthage. The apocryphal books later formally accepted by the Roman Catholic Church are concidered inspired and good for learning, but are not normally included in the lectionary of the Lutheran Church. So, basically the Lutheran Church accepts the same Bible as the rest of Western Christendom. Throughout the history of the Lutheran Church, clergy and theologians have been required to be fully educated in the Biblical languages. For this reason, a seperate, specifiallly Lutheran Bible has not been printed. The tradition is to always refer to the original text for the best accuracy. The most famous Lutheran Bible would have to be the Gutenberg Bible. Luther translated this Bible into the language of the people at a time when it was usually read in Latin by priests who knew Latin and most lay people did not.

How many times is conversation recorded in the Bible?

Actually, it differs from version to version. Far more conversations are recorded in the Catholic Bible (known by scholars as the Vulgate Bible) due to the fact that additional books are included in the Catholic Bible (which are considered to be apocrypha, and are not included in the Bibles of the various protestant Christian faiths. The Lutheran Bible records more conversation than the Bibles written in English (whether the King James Bible or the New Standard Version or any of them in between) because the Lutheran Bible was written in German, which has lengthier sentences (due to German grammatical structure). So, in summary, the Catholic Bible has the most recorded conversations, followed by the Lutheran Bible, then followed by the various Bibles written in English.
