Οι Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά εκδίδουν εδώ και δεκαετίες μεγάλες ποσότητες εντύπων. Some well known pieces are the Watchtower and Awake! magazines, the "Knowledge" book and the "Require" brochure.
Some literature produced by Jehovah's Witnesses is for specific groups. Instruction manuals for elders and pioneers respectively entitled "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock" and "Shining as Illuminators" and the book "Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry" prepared for individual 'publishers' are examples. Other books primarily, though not exclusively, made for Jehovah's Witnesses publishers include Benefit From Theocratic Ministry School Education, the Reasoning book and All Scripture is Inspired and Beneficial.
Some publications are designed for specialized use such as the brochures Apply Yourself to Reading and Writing and Learn to Read and Write and Good News for All Nations, which contains a message in multiple languages. Also, publications designed for certain religious groups are used in their public ministry. The brochure Will There Ever be a World Without War? and the tract A Peaceful New World, Will it Come? are geared toward the Jewish community. The Brochure The Guidance of God is directed towards those of the Muslim faith. Our Problems, Who Will Help us Solve Them? and Why Worhip God With Spirit an Truth? are for those with Buddhist or Hindu beliefs.
Most of the literature produced by Jehovah's Witnesses is designed for use in their evangelizing efforts, or "field ministry". Examples include general subject publications such as the Watchower and Awake! magazines and Bible study tools such as the Knowledge book and Require brochure. Secondary publications for study include the books Worship the Only True God, You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth and The Bible, God's Word or Man's?.
