the Bible in action

Martin Horton
When did you last buy a Bible? Was it as a gift or because your well-loved copy was falling apart? How easy was it to choose?
With more than 60 versions of the Bible in English, choosing a new Bible might take a while: you might even suffer from ‘Bible decision fatigue’– a genuine phenomenon, according to Bible Gateway.
Wycliffe shoots for the stars
Luke Randall
Wycliffe Associates are to use Starlink to improve connectivity with isolated Bible translators.
The Bible translation organisation hope that the SpaceX satellite internet provider, which provides broadband to over 100 countries and aims to eventually provide global broadband, will enable their translators to access the internet at high speeds - and transform the capabilities of their work in the world’s remotest locations.
Trinitarian Bible Society grows substantially
Luke Randall
The Trinitarian Bible Society (TBS) sent 3.26 million Scriptures and Scripture items, in 38 languages, to 111 different countries in 2023. This represents a 13% increase in circulation compared to 2022.
A recent newsletter from the Bible-translating organisation, which has prided itself upon distributing accurate, Protestant Scripture since 1831, revealed positive circulation statistics for 2023, a year which saw them distribute 490,181 more copies of Scriptures (Bibles, New Testaments and portions) than in 2022.
