Because, like Gideon, two ordinary men set out to accomplish a mighty work commissioned by God.
The Bibles are given out by the Gideons.
There is an international organization that puts copies of the Bible in each hotel room, all over the world. The organization is called "The Gideons". It is the regular Holy Bible, but the cover will say, usually, "placed by The Gideons".
Gideons International was created in 1899.
The Gideons are not actually a denomination of Christianity, but a Christian organization officially called "Gideons International" whose mission is to spread the word of God by handing out Bibles to people who might never otherwise encounter it. So the Gideons don't have specific beliefs (like whether Jesus is completely God or if he was something else) and can come from a variety of denominations. However, most Christians do believe that Jesus is God, so most Gideons are probably going to believe that, too. I hope that answered your question.
The Gideons believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant word of God.
the people that started the gidions was three men called mr hill mr nichloes and mr knights.
