Children's Bible Online in 20 Languages
KOENIGSTEIN, Germany, MARCH 23, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The text of the children's Bible "God Speaks to His
Children" is now available online, including in Arabic, Turkish and Chinese.
This children's Bible, produced for youngsters worldwide, is the most ambitious project of the Catholic
charity Aid to the Church in Need.
The Fides news agency reported that the text of this Bible is now available to Internet surfers in 20
languages, thanks to the collaboration of the German Catholic Liturgical Institute.

With the latest translations, the book will now be published in 152 languages. About 43 million copies of the
children's Bible have already been printed.
"We want children all over the world to have access to the Bible, to be able to read and print Christian
Scripture," said Maria Zurowski, family office director of Aid to the Church in Need. "It was important for us
to elaborate an instrument most suitable for a child."
"All functions are explained by symbols," Zurowski added. "The corresponding language is to be picked on a
world map."
The first edition of the children's Bible was launched in 1979.
