More than 200 years ago people who believed passionately that the Bible had something to say for the whole of humanity founded Bible Society.
Today, we still share that vision. When we read the Bible we find out more about God, more about ourselves and more about the world. That’s why we want to share it.
We invite people to discover the Bible’s message for themselves, even if they’ve never thought the Bible was for them. We want them to read it, be excited by it and find their lives changed by it.
Because of that, we translate the Bible and make it accessible in people’s heart languages. We bring it into public spaces where its voice can be heard, for instance through the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast or The Pitch film fund. We tell its stories, for instance through the Open the Book programme with primary-age children. We encourage people who’ve never thought the Bible was for them to explore it for themselves, and see life through a different lens.
