I think that the Russian people a hundred years from now will be grateful to the Adventist Christians of our time for their translation of the Bible. I sincerely believe that this excellent translation is a valuable contribution to Russian culture. The next generation of Christians of different denominations will be glad to use this translation in their worship services. In the Russian language at present time there is no other translation of the Scriptures of such high-quality that is intended not just for use in public worship but also for personal devotional reading.

The new translation of the Bible by the BTI Institute at Zaoksky is surprisingly easy to read—I enjoyed reading the Pastoral Epistles because of the clarity language. It is done with reverence and with a good understanding of the original languages and one also can sense love for the Word of God. I highly recommend it.
—Vladimir Strelov, lecturer at the Theology Department of the RSSU and the Dept. of Psychology at St. John’s RPI, director of the Moscow branch of the Society of Friends of the Holy Scriptures
Thank you very much for the translation! I was pleasantly surprised by such a good translation of the Psalms. It is accurate, yet it also conveys the rhythm of the poetry. You have managed to recreate that same impression, which one gets by analyzing in the original the art of the biblical verse.
