A movement where Christ is named
Biblica
Bible translation & distribution · Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Biblica, long known as the International Bible Society, is a Christian ministry devoted to translating, publishing, and distributing the Bible so people everywhere can read it in their own language. It traces its roots to Bible society work in the early nineteenth century and today carries a global mission expressed as the Bible for everyone. Biblica is the worldwide sponsor and copyright holder of the New International Version translation.
What they do
Biblica translates the Scriptures into many languages and stewards widely used English translations, most notably the New International Version. Its translation teams and scholars work to render the biblical text faithfully and clearly so that ordinary readers can understand it.
Beyond translation, Biblica publishes and distributes Scripture in print and digital formats and creates resources that help people engage the Bible in everyday life. It works with churches, ministries, and partners around the world to place God's word in the hands of those who do not yet have it.
The Scripture behind the work
Where the door leads
Biblica's aim is that everyone, everywhere would be able to encounter the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ through the Scriptures. By making the Bible clear and available, it points readers past the page to the living Word himself. A natural next step is to open the Gospel of John and read how Jesus offers life to all who believe.
Connect to the real thing
The Living Bread is a door, not the destination. The life is with Christ and his people.

Why is Biblica also called the International Bible Society?
International Bible Society was the ministry's name for years before it adopted the name Biblica. The two refer to the same organization, and its materials still note the connection.
Does Biblica own the New International Version?
Yes. Biblica is the worldwide sponsor and copyright holder of the New International Version, and it oversees the independent scholarly committee that maintains the translation.
