The Trinitarian Bible Society was founded in 1831 "to promote the Glory of God and the salvation of men by circulating, both at home and abroad, in dependence on the Divine blessing, the Holy Scriptures, which are given by inspiration of God and are able to make men wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Activities during his secretariat include: The Society provides Bibles and Christian literature (from a historically Reformed perspective) to the world.

The translation of Bibles into non-English languages is based on the Hebrew Masoretic Text and Greek New Testament edition of the Textus Receptus compiled by F. H. A. Scrivener and published in 1894.

The Society sells copies of the King James Version of the Bible, as well as Scriptures in other languages, to the general public.

They also sell or give away Scripture-based Christian literature, such as tracts and children's items in English and other languages.
