Some discouraging news from ASSIST News Service.This is not the whole story, I'm sure; war and an increase in persecution of Christians worldwide certainly didn't help.The worldwide distribution of the “Book of Books” continues its downward trend. According to the United Bible Societies (UBS) in Reading, England, 372.6 million Bibles, New Testaments, Scripture portions and selections were distributed by Bible Societies in 2005.
The numbers were down by 4.6 percent (18 million copies) compared with 2004. Since the year 2000 the distribution of printed Scriptures has dwindled steadily by 41.2 percent. In the Millennium year 633.3 million copies were handed out. The only rise was recorded from 2001 to 2002.
