Armenian Bible (Eastern)

Description

The Armenian translation of the Bible has a history dating back to the 5th century, when Mesrop Mashtots created the Armenian alphabet specifically to translate the Scriptures. This public domain edition represents the Eastern Armenian version, translated from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion (301 AD), and the Armenian Bible is a cornerstone of Armenian culture and identity.
