SRI LANKA: New Revised Sinhala Study Bible with Deuterocanonical Books
A densely populated nation with repeatedly high temperatures, most people in Sri Lanka are poor, live in rural areas and depend on agriculture. Although its land area size is among the smallest in the Asia Pacific region, Sri Lanka is densely populated with more than 21 million inhabitants.
Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim make up more than 99% of the population. Although the Catholic population is approximately 1.2 million, they do not have a Sinhala Study Bible. This project will revise the Old and New Testaments with Deuterocanonical introductions, update study notes for all books and edit the Biblical text as needed.
This will empower Roman Catholic and Protestant believers in Sri Lanka, enhance their lives and deepen their relationship with God through His Word.
