Good News Bible

The Good News Bible (GNB), also known as the Good News Translation (GNT), is a widely respected and accessible modern English translation of the Bible. First published in 1966 as the Good News for Modern Man, it was created with the purpose of providing a clear, readable version of the Scriptures for people of all ages and backgrounds, especially for those for whom English is a second language.

The translation is known for its simple, everyday vocabulary and straightforward sentence structure, making it ideal for new believers, young readers, or anyone seeking to understand the core message of the Bible without the complexity of older or more formal versions. While highly readable, it still maintains faithfulness to the original texts in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

The Good News Bible is often used in schools, churches, and outreach ministries because of its approachable style and its inclusion of helpful introductions, outlines, and study aids. It captures the heart of the gospel message in a way that is both easy to grasp and deeply meaningful.

Whether for study, devotion, or public reading, the Good News Bible continues to serve as a trusted tool for bringing the truth of Scripture to people around the world.
