Biblia — Ortodoxa En Español

The fragmentation reflects jurisdictional divisions. The Orthodox Church in Spain is represented by Constantinople, Moscow, Romania, Serbia, and Antiochian patriarchates, each with different liturgical languages and translation traditions. A unified Spanish Orthodox Bible would require unprecedented pan-Orthodox cooperation.

The need for a definitive Biblia Ortodoxa en español is urgent. Spanish is the second-most spoken native language in the world, and Orthodox missions from Mexico to Patagonia are growing rapidly. A few encouraging projects are underway. The Proyecto San Pablo (a collaboration of Romanian and Spanish Orthodox theologians) aims to produce a complete Bible by 2030, using the Septuagint for the Old Testament and the Byzantine Majority Text for the New Testament, with notes from the Church Fathers. Meanwhile, the Sociedad Bíblica Ortodoxa Hispana publishes provisional editions of individual books (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Four Gospels) available for free online. biblia ortodoxa en español
