I have added a translation of C.F.W. Walther’s Von Dem Namen ‘Lutheraner’, originally published in Der Lutheraner in 1844. This rendering was completed in 1989 and revised in 2019. A PDF is now available on the site.

This translation serves a dual purpose. It stands on its own as a historical document worth having in English. It will also serve as a baseline for comparison with AI-generated translations — part of a broader project exploring how AI tools can reduce the effort required to produce quality translations by a factor of ten or more.

The workflow documentation will follow in a subsequent post.
