The Bible and Young People
Bear Grylls and Cardiff-based Andrew Ollerton have produced a new version of the Bible for young people. Roy Jenkins meets those helping young people to engage with the Bible.
The Bible is central to Christian worship and devotion throughout the year. But October is the month when many churches observe Bible Sunday, giving thanks for the Scriptures. This month also sees the publication of a 'Bible for young explorers', with surrounding text written by celebrity and adventurer Bear Grylls, and Cardiff based Andrew Ollerton.
But do young people want a Bible?
And if so, what kind?
Roy Jenkins interviews Andrew Ollerton and others who are involved in helping young people engage with the Bible. We meet Arfon Jones who translated Beibl.net; Dave Kitchen author of 'Bible in Ten'; and Sian Rees the head of The Bible Society in Wales. We also go to Hope Teens youth group in Merthyr Tydfil to find out what the young people themselves make if the new Bible.
