==Synopsis==

Bible translations and distribution for many languages has become a major focus of evangelism in the last few centuries. The development of movable type (a basic form of the printing press) by [[Johannes Gutenberg]] in the fifteenth century, and the Protestant [[Reformation]] really marked the start of widespread distribution of the Bible. The work of Bible translation and distribution continues today by organization such as the [[Bible Society]]. Other organizations such as [[Gideons International]] are involved in distributing free Bibles around the world.
