The Bible Society of Ghana is a non-denominational, non-governmental Christian organization based in Ghana. The organization is registered under the Trustees Act, 1962 of the Republic of Ghana.[1] It is the largest Bible distribution organization in Ghana.[citation needed]
History
[edit]In the late 1950s and early 1960s Rev. Prof. Baeta, Mr. A. L. Quansah and Mr. E. S. Aidoo discussed and established a national Society with others.[2] The Society opened it head office, The Bible House, on 18 September 1965. Full operation as a national Bible Society started in 1966 and it became a full member of the United Bible Societies in 1968.[2]
Purpose
[edit]The organization translates, publishes and distributes Bibles at affordable prices (comes with high subsidies) and promotes its use to transform lives.[1] The organisation has a vision of reaching every home in Ghana with the word of God in a language they understand.
Collaborations
[edit]BSG along with Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation and the United Bible Societies (UBS) form the three main organisations involved in Bible translation in Ghana.[3]
