About Us

The Institute for Scripture Research (ISR) was registered in South Africa by Dr. C.J. Koster along with 7 other board members as a non-profit Section 21 company for the purpose of fulfilling the expressed mission and vision of the ISR.

As chairman of the board Dr. Koster gave all rights to all his research and his book “Come Out Of Her My People” (originally entitled “The Final Reformation”, 1986) to the Institute for Scripture Research. This book is still available from the ISR in English, Afrikaans and Spanish.

The ISR published its first edition of “The Scriptures” in 1993. Our desire was that The Scriptures should be distributed freely and that it would be supported by donations from those who believed in the work.

The horizons of the ISR continue to expand as we look for further means to communicate the truth of YHWH to a world in need. We have sought to make the “The Scriptures” more user-friendly by the addition of notes, charts, maps, interlinear references and different book sizes and cover styles. Also we are currently engaged in making “The Scriptures” available through various digital applications. At the same time we are continuing our on-going endeavour to continually improve the quality of the translation of “The Scriptures”. In this endeavour we invite your help (see How can I help?) and prayers.
