Beibel Koriente

Beibel Koriente means Actual Bible. The Papiamentu Bible was published in 1997 as there was and still is a great need for material in this Creole language will help the people engage better with the Bible. At this time, it has established itself as the Bible of preference for the majority of Papiamentu-speaking churches in their liturgy, Bible use programs and evangelization. The translation took place over a period of 12 years. In 2014 we concluded the translation and revision of notes.

Beibel di Estudio

This Study Bible is aimed at promoting and facilitating Scripture engagement. The challenge of meaningful Scripture engagement and the Bible needs of the community will be better served by the development of a Study Edition of the Bible, incorporating the revised text. The notes will be designed to promote a fuller understanding of the Bible, to encourage a deeper spirituality, to achieve a more effective evangelization, and to lead to transformation in our society.
