| Summary: | For eleven hundred years the Western church made the Bible available only in a Latin translation. Prior to this, however, there had been extensive Bible translating activity on three continents. With the sixteenth-century Reformation, the Reformers again made translation into the vernacular a priority, resulting in translations in various European languages.

Bible translation is one of the most effective mission tools. |
