The goal of the AD 2020 Global Year of the Bible project is to present the Bible, the Word of God, as the enduring foundation for fostering unity, freedom, development and quality of life today and for the years to come. Properly understood, the Bible points us to the Creator whose Word is true, righteous and endures forever. We will endeavor to demonstrate that the Bible’s story—infused with the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit—inspires compassion, integrity, hope, unity, strength, excellence, accountability, the recognition of the dignity of every individual, and most importantly, a right relationship with God. These are characteristics that should mark every generation as we understand our call as stewards of God’s world and as a light to all people, all for his glory.
