Global Effort to Get World in Touch With the Bible Centered in Jerusalem

“This is a very meaningful project for millions of Christians around the world, and it can attract more support for Israel and the Jewish people, because people who know the Bible become closer to Judaism and Israel.”
(Israel)—There is currently a world-wide interfaith effort, initiated by the Bible Valley Society, to handwrite 100 Bibles in various native languages and display them at the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem. As reported in The Jerusalem Post, the project—which so far has involved thousands of people from about 31 different countries—is meant to “create bridges between cultures and faiths united by love and reverence for the Bible.” (Photo: Kfir Meor/Jpost)
“This project is a leap into the future,” said Amanda Weiss, managing director of the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. “It will bring people more in touch with the Bible, whether they are religious or secular, Christian, Muslim or Jewish.”

“This is a very meaningful project for millions of Christians around the world, and it can attract more support for Israel and the Jewish people, because people who know the Bible become closer to Judaism and Israel,” said Terry G.C. Ting, Taiwan’s representative to Israel. “I believe that the Bible is a bridge of sorts.”

Noting that he believes the Bibles “should eventually form a traveling exhibition around the globe similar to how Christianity was spread from Jerusalem two millennia ago,” Ting added, “Christians are an important asset for Israel.”
