252 Million People Still Have No Access to the Bible

Oct 29, 2019

(FW) – Figures released by a leading Bible translator have revealed that, despite the huge advances made in the translation of the Word of God, one in five people are still completely deprived of access to the Holy scriptures. The data was released by Wycliffe Bible Translators, which regularly tracks the progress of Bible translation across the globe. The organization revealed that the complete Bible was now available in a staggering 698 languages across the world, up from 683 in 2018). In addition, some 1,548 languages now have a complete New Testament (up from 1,534).

“These are encouraging figures, and represent the tremendous work that translation teams are doing across the world,” said Wycliffe statistician Peter Brassington of the latest findings. “Changes year to year don’t always look dramatic on the surface, but Bible translation requires dedicated long-term effort, and the translations finished now often started many years ago. I joined Wycliffe in 1996: the number of languages in which there is a complete Bible has doubled in that time.” READ MORE
