The Bible Society for the Netherlands and Flanders (Dutch: Nederlands-Vlaams Bijbelgenootschap; NBG) is a non-denominational Bible society in the Netherlands and Flanders devoted to translating, publishing, and distributing the Bible at affordable costs. The NBG is based in Haarlem and was formed on 29 June 1814 on the initiative of the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS). After the establishment of the BFBS in 1804, Bible societies were set up in many European countries to facilitate the affordable publishing and distribution of the Bible, particularly in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars. This was only possible in the Netherlands after the withdrawal of the French occupation army over the course of 1813 after eight years of French domination and direct occupation. Local Bible societies were set up in the various provinces and they were united as the NBG in 1815. The mission of the NBG was deliberately limited to the distribution of Bibles and literature with the work of evangelism being left to other agencies. More information...
