Lutheran Study Bible Translation Project: Assamese Status

We need your help to finish this language. As you’ll see in the table at bottom of this page, all 66 books of the Bible have projected costs associated with them – this is the cost of completing the exhaustive 12-step process. Obviously, we’ve got a long way to go, but we are absolutely committed to finishing Assamese and the 14 other languages. Naturally, the timing is based on availability of resources and funding – but these will get done! Can you help us get there sooner?

See the Translation for Yourself

As it becomes available, we will provide an example of a page of The Lutheran Study Bible in English as well as the Assamese translation. We want to show you the power of the teaching provided by The Lutheran Study Bible and how the true translation looks and reads in Assamese.
