Welcome to the Spanish Bible Blog. Here you will find much information about the Spanish Bible, its inception, its texts, and those men who translated it into the Castellan tongue. You will also learn about the Valera 1602 Purified Spanish Bible, the only Spanish Bible which follows the texts of the Protestant reformation without any mixture of catholic, critical, or modern translation readings.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SPANISH BIBLE

The dream of a Bible translated into Spanish for all Spaniards to read was not an easy task to acheive. The Spanish Inquistion, as well as various Papal Indexes against translation of the scriptures into the vulgar tongue forbade those who desired to do the work, oftentimes leading to their being imprisoned, and even burned at the stake for their defiance to Papal law in translating the scriptures into the language of the common man.
Still, some courageous Spaniards with no regard for their own lives, and with a great evangelistic burden for their own people, translated the scriptures into Castellan Spanish for their own countrymen to read and absorb.
In their day, these men were labeled as heretics for their work, but today we remember them as heroes.
This blog will seek to give information about these men, who they were, what they did, how they did it, and why. And it is the hope of the author that this information will prove useful to the reader.

The 1602 Valera Purified New Testament now Available

We now have the Valera 1602 Purified in Spanish available online via Amazon.com at a price of $16.02.  (Price is intended to honor the year of Valera's work of 1602).

It can be ordered by visiting:

We are practicing and learning how to use P.O.D. (print on demand), so we have taken the .pdf file of the Valera 1602 Purified New Testament and cut and copied it page by page to make the New Testament of this translation available, as they are hard to get today. 

Thankfully, though, more whole Bibles shall be printed soon, as the plan is to print the newest, updated version in December.  I hope we can find a way to make these available online as well.
