A brief history of Bible translation

‘There is scarcely a century in the Christian era when Bible translation of some sort was not going on somewhere’

Searching for forgiveness

‘Well, you can say that, but it’s impossible to do, isn’t it?’

 

What we believe

We depend on God. We make Jesus known. We are Bible people. We honour the Church. We innovate. We serve sacrificially.

Our values and our statement of faith underpin all that we do – and why and how we do it.
