We desire that all people, at all places, will encounter God and His Son Jesus Christ through the Bible, in the language of their hearts, in formats that foster understanding, and without the money being an impediment. To this end we serve all churches translating, publishing, spreading and exalting the Word of God.

Inclusive Publications: reaching “every creature”
The project aims at the development of integrative proposals interconnecting the Word of God with the child carrier of disability, and their environment.
The “Integrative Biblical Materials” are the main support of this project, and are intended to create bridges in different directions. In the first place, between the child with disabilities and the Word of God, and secondly, among other children and adults without disabilities, so that everyone has the opportunity to share the biblical stories and live their faith in community.

Proposals
Inductive Bible Study Project (IBS).
The IBS project is part of a broader strategy Sociedad Bíblica Argentina has developed to stimulate and encourage significant engagement with Scripture in people who possess a Bible in their homes. It seeks to provide them with practical tools and simple guidelines to interact with the Word on a regular basis.
Read more
IBS Objective
To develop a genuine passion for God through spiritually significant interaction with His Word
IBS Audience
The IBS project seeks not only to help individuals interested in developing Bible study skills, but also to stimulate group interaction within a local Church setting. The goal is to encourage a culture of serious interaction with the Word in as many congregations as possible.
The network to which the Bible Society belongs will not only allow the project to touch the lives of thousands of Christians in Argentina but will also be available through other Bible Society structures in Latin America, so that the potential for lasting impact is multiplied many times over throughout the region.
IBS Scope
The project will focus on the practical training needed to intelligently interact with God´s Word. It will provide the basic skills that can be used in a setting where there are no other readily available resources for Bible study. The project will not provide in-depth understanding of hermeneutics, though it will guide students through the basic principles of honest Biblical interpretation.
IBS Features
A detailed interactive manual which will take students through the three steps of inductive Bible Study: observation, interpretation and application.
Short video presentations developing the main points of the course, available to students as they work through the manual.
An area of the Bible Society´s website dedicated to Inductive Bible Society, providing samples, additional resources and an interactive platform with students.
An inductive Bible New Testament with notes and examples of the principles applied to the text.
IBSP Outcomes
This project seeks to move away from the intellectual study of Bible. The desired outcome is to awaken people´s passion for the author of the Word, God himself. The response of participants is, therefore, the central focus of every aspect of the course. Success will be measured in terms of a student’s excitement and growth in the discipline of regularly interacting with God´s Word and developing into an obedient and passionate disciple of Christ.
