Catholic Bible published in Thai

July 04, 2014

For the first time, a Catholic Bible has been published in the Thai language.

The project, undertaken by Salesian missionaries, was begun in 1992. For decades, Catholics used a slightly modified version of a Protestant translation of the Bible in the sacred liturgy.

An estimated 300,000 of Thailand’s 66 million people are Catholic.
