Here’s a shout-out for Find-A-Bible.
What is Find-A-Bible (FAB)? According to the FAB website, it “is a web directory providing links to the Bibles and biblical resources in the 6000+ languages of the world. The FAB directory is primarily made of content created by members of the Forum of Bible Agencies International (FOBAI) and is intended to help people discover and obtain Scriptures and biblical resources in the language and media of their choice for discipleship, evangelism, and church planting. The Digital Bible Society (DBS) creates and maintains the associated databases and delivery tools. Find-A-Bible comprises links to print Bibles, print-on-demand Bibles, digital Bibles, audio Bibles, visual Bibles and Bible resources – in multiple formats.”
FAB is a collaborative endeavour where the world’s major Bible agencies partner to provide a convenient digital hub where people can quickly and readily find biblical resources and Bibles in every language. It also serves as a reference point for Bible translation organizations for cataloging which Bibles or Bible portions have been published in a specific language.
FOBAI member agencies created FAB because they believe the Bible is essential for discipleship and advancing the kingdom of God among every tribe, tongue, and people. If you are someone seeking God, a Christian, or a missionary/pastor/teacher looking for excellent biblical resources in your heart language or the heart language of the people you’re working/living with, then FAB should prove to be a helpful information bank for multi-lingual Bible resources.
One more thing: If you’re checking out FAB, take an extra few minutes to check out the FOBAI Scripture Engagement landing page. It’s jam-packed with extensive research findings, resources, articles, links, and such about Bible engagement. There’s information on Bible reading, Bible study, Bible storying, Bible preaching, Bible meditation and Bible memorization. There are resources about engaging children, youth, women, other religions, the deaf, and post-Christian societies with the Scriptures. Many papers, essays, blogs, books and journals cover topics like Bible translation, literacy, orality, culture, contextualization, the arts, media, the church, advocacy, tools and methods.
