The Swedish Bible Society (Swedish: Svenska Bibelsällskapet) is a Swedish Christian non-profit organization founded on 22 February 1815[1][2] to spread the Bible to the Swedish people. It was inspired by the British and Foreign Bible Society, which had been founded in 1804. Today, its work is focused on promoting and facilitating Bible reading and use. Bible societies were gradually established in all dioceses in Sweden, but over time the activities have taken different forms. Internationally, the Bible Society has been part of the United Bible Societies (UBS) since 1946.
