The educational edition of the Bible is the result of twenty years of work and the most important stage in the work of the Russian Bible Society on the Modern Russian translation of the Holy Scriptures, the goal of which is to bring the multi-million audience of our Russian-speaking contemporaries closer to understanding the Word of God. Work of this scale has not been carried out in our country for more than a century, since in 1904–1913. The eleven-volume “Explanatory Bible” was published, in which the Synodal Translation of the Holy Scriptures was accompanied by introductory articles and commentaries.
