Indonesian Books & Bibles FAQ
An Overview of Christianity and the Indonesian Language
Christianity in Indonesia has roots that trace back to the early 16th century with the arrival of Portuguese traders and missionaries, who introduced Catholicism to the islands of the Maluku region. In the 17th century, Dutch colonizers brought Protestantism, which spread primarily in regions like North Sumatra and Sulawesi, where Dutch Reformed missionaries were active. The Dutch colonial government’s support of Protestant missions contributed to the establishment of Christian communities, especially among certain ethnic groups such as the Batak, Toraja, and Minahasa. Although Islam became the majority religion, Christianity established a strong presence, particularly among Indonesia’s minority ethnic groups.
The Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia), standardized in the 20th century, became central to Christian practice in the post-independence era, as translations of the Bible in Indonesian made Christianity more accessible. The Indonesian Bible Society played a key role in producing Bible translations, and today both Protestant and Catholic communities use the Bible in Indonesian and in regional languages for worship and religious education. Christianity remains a significant minority religion in Indonesia, especially in regions like North Sumatra, West Papua, and parts of Sulawesi, and Indonesian-language Bibles and Christian literature continue to be essential resources for the country’s diverse Christian communities.
