Handwritten Bible Project Hits NIV Home
 |
The International Bible Society-Send The Light recently hosted the Bible Across America tour.
Bible Across America features an RV piloted by a four-person team, traveling across the continental United States, making stops at churches, universities, retail stores and special events where people are invited to contribute a verse to complete a handwritten Bible — America’s NIV.
Participants are invited to handwrite a verse of a new Bible. The project will reach 90 cities in 44 states during the five-month tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible.
More than 31,000 Americans, one for every verse in the Bible, will have a hand in publishing America’s NIV–the first NIV Bible ever written “one-verse, one-person” at a time.
The final America’s NIV will be reproduced and published by Zondervan and then distributed nationwide. The original manuscripts will be bound and offered to the Smithsonian Institution.
The NIV has become the most-read modern English Bible translation, with more than 300 million copies in print worldwide.
IBS-STL Global is one of the largest Bible and Christian literature ministries worldwide, translating the Bible into major languages and distributing Christian resources to engage people with the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ. It is the translation sponsor and copyright holder of the New International Version® (NIV) of the Bible, the world’s most -widely read contemporary English translation.
