Book excerpt: The World English Bible is a modern, high-quality, public domain translation of the Holy Bible. This edition includes both Old and New Testaments. For readers familiar with the Amplified, NLT, and NIV translations, the World English Bible attempts to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of each. The text is based on the American Standard Version 1901 Bible, Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia Old Testament, and Byzantine Majority Text New Testament. The text of the World English Bible is in the public domain and can be quoted and distributed without limitation. It is intended to be an accessible, understandable, easy-to-copy-and-share translation of the scriptures for English-speakers around the world. The project was conceived by Michael Paul Johnson in 1994 and was first published in 1997 by Rainbow Missions, Inc. Using the Internet, Michael and his team of volunteers continue to refine the text. This volume is a printing of the online Old and New Testaments texts as of February 23, 2014.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With so many Bible translations available today, how can you find those that will be most useful to you? What is the difference between a translation that calls itself “literal” and one that is more “meaning-based”? And what difference does it make for you as a reader of God’s Word? How to Choose a Translation for All Its Worth brings clarity and insight to the current debate over translations and translation theories. Written by two seasoned Bible translators, here is an authoritative guide through the maze of translations issues, written in language that everyday Bible readers can understand. Learn the truth about both the word-for-word and meaning-for-meaning translations approaches. Find out what goes into the whole process of translation, and what makes a translation accurate and reliable. Discover the strengths and potential weaknesses of different contemporary English Bible versions. In the midst of the present confusion over translations, this authoritative book speaks with an objective, fair-minded, and reassuring voice to help pastors, everyday Bible readers, and students make wise, well-informed choices about which Bible translations they can depend on and which will best meet their needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible scholars seeking to quote extensively from the Scriptures must also navigate the differing and difficult copyright restrictions of modern translations. The World English Bible takes this issue off the table: writers and researchers may quote the WEB to any length without seeking permission or pay any fees to any publisher. Is the quotation in a work destined for sale? It doesn't matter. No permission, no fees, no royalties to the publisher, period. The WEB updates the reliable ASV translation (which is also in the public domain) with modern English while retaining its intent to translate the Bible faithfully. This hard cover edition has been formatted to make it easy to read. Many Bibles have flimsy paper and small font sizes in order to reduce the production cost to make the Bibles more affordable--but you have to squint to read them, and they tear easily. This edition takes the opposite approach. The sturdy paper and larger (size 11) font makes for many more pages--and a more expensive product--but should be easier to read and last longer than other editions. Effort was made to ensure consistency in formatting, font size, pagination, and other elements that enhance reader enjoyment. Footnotes and commentary included in other versions of the WEB have been deleted, but can still be found at the WEB's webpage. This edition includes only the 66 books of the Bible accepted by the entire Church as canonical.

Book excerpt: Originally there were no such things as chapters or verses in the Holy Scriptures. Let us go back to how it was and how it should be. Let us read the Holy Scriptures easily without any interruption of numbers. "The chapter divisions commonly used today were developed by Stephen Langton, an Archbishop of Canterbury. Langton put the modern chapter divisions into place in around A.D. 1227. The Wycliffe English Bible of 1382 was the first Bible to use this chapter pattern. Since the Wycliffe Bible, nearly all Bible translations have followed Langton's chapter divisions. The Hebrew Old Testament was divided into verses by a Jewish rabbi by the name of Nathan in A.D. 1448. Robert Estienne, who was also known as Stephanus, was the first to divide the New Testament into standard numbered verses, in 1555. Stephanus essentially used Nathan's verse divisions for the Old Testament. Since that time, beginning with the Geneva Bible, the chapter and verse divisions employed by Stephanus have been accepted into nearly all the Bible versions." -Gotquestions.org-
