About the GOD'S WORD Bible translation.
This translation combines scholarly fidelity with natural English. GOD'S WORD, with its clarity and ease of understanding, is the ideal translation for readers of all ages and religious backgrounds.

Communicating the literal meaning of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts that comprise the Scriptures, so we can understand what the Bible means today, requires taking a completely new look at the original languages.

Many modern translations have chosen simply to follow the "traditions" of older accepted translations. Unfortunately "traditional words and grammar" no longer mean what they once did.

In fact, many of the most recent versions of these traditional translations still include words that are simply the English spellings of words taken directly from the Latin translation done by St. Jerome in 347 - 420 AD! These include such words as: justified (from the Latin justificati), reconciled (reconciliati), and grace (gratiam).

GOD'S WORDÆ, however, is a completely new translation of the Bible from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.

GOD'S WORDÆ uses a linguistic translation method -- similar to the widely accepted translation method used by missionary translators throughout the world today. As a result, it reads more easily, is more literally accurate, and communicates the intended meaning of the Bible more clearly and naturally than any other English translation.

What Leaders Are Saying About This Translation
"God's Word is an easy-to understand Bible... It is a wonderful version to give to someone who is a new believer or is not yet a believer." Dr. Billy Graham

"Even if the rather prolific output of modern translations, paraphrases, and versions of Scripture should increase, this particular linguists achievement, GOD'S WORD, will rank among the top contenders with the Bible-reading public." Dr. D. James Kennedy

"I am greatly impressed! I couldn't put GOD'S WORD down. It is certainly the most readable English translation I've read.  I predict it will become a standard text. I believe GOD'S WORD will enrich the study habits of a whole generation." Dr. Joe C. Aldrich

"GOD'S WORD is very possibly the most accurate English translation of the original text available today. GOD'S WORD is a must read for 21st century Christians." Dr. Larry Richards

"GOD'S WORD is accurate, inspirational and easy to read. Thank God for this translation!" Dr. T. W. Wilson, Former Executive Assistant to Billy Graham

"During fifteen years of full time evangelistic ministry we have always made the most well respected versions of the Bible available in our crusades. However, I have never had so many positive comments from people about a version of the Bible as I have received in reference to the GOD'S WORD version. After extensive study, I am convinced that the GOD'S WORD version is, without exception, the most accurate, easy-to-read version of the Bible available on the face of the earth. It is a powerful tool for this new millenium that should be placed in the hands of every individual at every reading age level. Evangelist Tim Todd

"Regarding Jewish missions and Bible translations... GOD'S WORD is right on target in Romans 11:14 by translating "jealous" whereas the NIV uses "envy" (which is wrong). The word "jealous" implies that something belongs to you. Envy implies that you want something that is not yours. The Messiah belongs to the Jews." Rev. Bruce Lieske, Executive Director, Lutherans in Jewish Evangelism

"This new Bible translation, GOD'S WORD, strives to interpret passages for the American reader without changing the original Hebrew meaning of the text. The English language is constantly changing. It is time, and vitally important, to bring Bible translations up-to-date. The Old Testament portion of GOD'S WORD ranks among the best." Dr. Menahem Mansoor, (Retired) Department Chair, Research Programs in Semitic Texts and Studies, The University of Wisconsin

New translations of the Bible abound today, but many fall short because they 'dumb-down' its meaning to try and appeal to man and in doing so fail to glorify God. Conversely, the GOD'S WORD translation of the Bible stands head and shoulders above its peers. It uses clear, contemporary language of our day and still 'guards the trust' of the rich meaning of the Scriptures. Being a parent of five children this balance is so vitally important. All my kids have enjoyed reading the GOD'S WORD Bible and, more importantly, understanding its great truths. Thank you for the valuable work you do for the glory of the Lord and the good of his people. Steve Camp, Musician
