The purpose of this special Bible is to break down prejudices and misconceptions that many metalheads have about the Bible and help people to realize that the Bible is not a boring book but an interesting and living book that has a lot to tell us today. Hopefully many will through this special bible edition see that the Bible and its message is something for them too.

LANGUAGE
The Metal Bible is so far printed in Swedish and Dutch. The Dutch version can be ordered at
http://www.metalbijbel.nl/ We are currently working hard
with English, Portugese, Italian, German, Slovak, Danish, Finnish and Spanish versions.
The translations into English and Spanish are now completed! Right now we are checking the grammar. When that is done we can do the layout and release it.
Look for a tentative release in English and Spanish in Fall/Winter 2009.
You can now preorder your copy of the English edition! Just
fill in this form and you will have it as soon as it's printed. The Metal Bible is also a perfect gift for your friends so it's good to have some extra copies for them.
Christian metal bands can also give them away at shows etc.
If you want to receive updates of how the work with the translations progress you can contact me and I'll add you to the mailing list.
