Johann Sebastian Bach is not the father of the Lutheran chorale, but he played a significant role in its development and popularization. The Lutheran chorale originated in the early Reformation period, primarily through the work of Martin Luther and his contemporaries, who created hymns to be sung in church services. Bach's compositions, particularly his cantatas and chorale preludes, incorporated and elevated these chorales, showcasing their importance in Lutheran worship. Thus, while he greatly contributed to their legacy, he did not originate them.
