Santa Biblia (Spanish Bible)

Segment from World Report, April 2009 The Church printing presses are running day and night at a remarkable pace (nat break of worker) The workers are inspecting the daily progress of an immense undertaking. These massive machines at the Churchs Printing Center in Salt Lake City will ultimately print more than 800,000 copies of the LDS edition of the Holy Biblein Spanish. The LDS edition based on the Reina-Valera translation of the Bible will soon be in the hands of Spanish-speaking members throughout the world. But before this printing could begin, there were years of research and labor by teams of translators, Bible scholars, and Church leadersall working under the direction of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. What has been accomplished is a completely cross-referenced work to the additional scriptures found within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This LDS edition of the Bible will feature new chapter headings, explanatory footnotes and other study aids to offer the same tools to Spanish-speaking members that are available to the English-speaking Church. But the activity of the printing press is not the only project in high gear. A special team of native-Spanish voice talent has been assembled to painstakingly record and review every word of the LDS edition of the Holy Bible in Spanish, for the benefit of those who prefer to listen to recordings of the scriptures. This new LDS edition of the Bible will be available this September, 2009 through Church distribution centers. To learn more, log onto http://santabiblia.lds.org.
