When people don’t have the Bible in their language it may seem obvious that translation and publication will help. Language can clearly be a huge barrier, but translation and distribution alone are not enough. Experience over many years in translations in many hundreds of languages has shown that there is a lot more to think about both coming from the perspective of Bible Translation organsations and of the church.

The videos and questions in this app provide a starting place from a perspective of those involved in Bible Translation and Scripture Engagement to explore many of the factors that need to be in place for effective use of the Bible. These are usually in the context of a new translation being released but many apply to situations where the Bible has been available for decades or even centuries. Some will seem obvious and need little extra work, others will identify problems and possibilities that you will want to think about.
