How to Publish With the Bible Society
The American Bible Society was established in 1816 with the goal of providing translations of the Bible in every language in the world, thus providing access to the word of God to all. In addition to publishing the Bible in translation, The American Bible Society also publishes other Christian books. The American Bible Society publishes a quarterly magazine called "The Record" and was instrumental in the formation of the other 147 Bible Societies throughout the world.
