Through translation work they make the Bible available in new spoken and signed languages, as well as revising existing Bibles to bring the language up-to-date. To meet the individual needs and demands of the millions wanting the Scriptures, our production facilities not only print physical copies but also produce visual, audio and digital forms.The Bible Society’s distribution network takes the Bible to places it might otherwise be hard to come by, and it improves literacy by empowering people to read, using the Book as a reference. They work to affirm the place of the Bible in society, challenging ill-informed thinking and demonstrating that the Bible can be a force for positive change in today’s world.
