The Norwegian Bible Society, founded in 1816 is a Norwegian Christian society whose purpose is to distribute and translate the Bible in Norway.
Overview
The Norwegian Bible Society was established in 1816 and is the oldest inter-denominational organization in Norway. Three events prompted the creation of the Society: the foundation of the British and Foreign Bible Society in England in 1804, the establishment of a university in Oslo in 1811, and the separation of Norway from Denmark in 1814.
