Mission Statement

The Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft (German Bible Society) is a not-for-profit religious foundation. It is engaged in translation of the Scriptures, the development and dissemination of innovative Bible editions, and in giving all people access to the message of the Bible. It bears international responsibility for scholarly Bible editions in the original languages. Through its international programs, in collaboration with other members of the United Bible Societies, it supports translation and distribution of the Bible worldwide, so that everyone can read the Bible in their own language.

The Bible is still the world’s best-selling book. No other work has been translated into so many different languages. As one of mankind’s most important cultural resources, it is a timeless bestseller and should be part on the shelves of any well-stocked bookshop. But there isn’t just one kind of Bible. Today, the Holy Scripture is available in many different editions and designs, ranging from brightly-coloured Children’s Bibles through leather-bound, gilt-edged scholarly original text editions all the way to audio and software products.

Whether printed or digital, traditional or modern—booksellers who want to provide sound advice to their customers need in-depth knowledge of the extensive range available. So our work goes far beyond simply receiving and despatching orders.
