The goal of this project is to develop an easy-to-use Vietnamese Study Bible, which is an accessible source of reference with helpful charts, tables, diagrams, and information. The goal is to complete the translation of the Study Bible by December 31, 2025, ensuring it serves as
a vital resource for Vietnamese Christians and pastors to deepen their understanding of God and share his love with others.

In 2025, the goal is to finalise the translation process through a structured plan that includes thorough checking, editing, and typesetting. The translation consultant will check the historical books (Jan-Mar), poetic and wisdom literature books (April – June), and the prophetic books (July-Sept). From October-December, all Old Testament books, maps and photos will be finalised by the Translation Consultant and then typeset. Upon completion, Bible Society Vietnam will print 1,000 copies of the Study Bible, facilitating ongoing engagement with
the text.

This Study Bible will help Vietnamese Christians and pastors understand the Bible better, come to know God more, love him more, and spread his love to their neighbours within and without church.

The Study Bible is aimed at the average Sunday School attendees and their teachers, plus the lay preachers and evangelists in remote areas who have little access to formal biblical studies. It will help preachers to become more effective (and accurate) in their preaching and help
believers to have better access to the Bible.

By the end of 2024, this 13-year project (which began in 2018) was 98% complete. The New Testament was finalised and ready for typesetting in 2024, and the Old Testament books were all reviewed (Stage 1 of the translation process).
