Bishop Ulfilas, also known as Wulfila, was a fourth-century bishop and missionary who is primarily known for translating the Bible into the Gothic language. Synonyms for his name include Wulfila, Ulfila of Constantinople, and Ulfilas of the Goths. Although he was born into a Cappadocian family, he spent most of his career in the Gothic land, where his mission was to convert the Goths to Christianity. Bishop Ulfilas is highly regarded for his linguistic skills, as his translation work marked the first time that the Bible had been translated into a Germanic language. His legacy has been felt through the centuries, as his translations have contributed to the development of the Germanic languages.
