Is the Bible Available to Everyone?

According to American Bible's Society Annual State of the Bible Survey (for 2015), in the United States 88 percent of American households have access to a Bible. Most Americans (72 percent) believe that the Bible is now available in all languages around the world. But the truth doesn't look that positive. More than half of the world's 6,901 known languages still do not have a completed Bible translation; 26 percent (or 1,859) of known languages have no Bible portions translated in their language while 31 percent have Scripture translation in progress.
