Good News Bible

The Good News Bible (also known as the Todays English Version) is a modern translation of the Scriptures created to make the message of Gods Word clear and easy to understand for readers of all ages and backgrounds. First published in the late 20th century, it emphasizes simple, everyday language without losing the depth and meaning of the biblical text.

Its translation style follows the principle of dynamic equivalencecommunicating thought-for-thought rather than word-for-wordso that the ideas and truths of the Bible are conveyed in a natural, conversational tone. This makes it especially useful for new readers of Scripture, children, or those reading the Bible in English as a second language.

The Good News Bible includes helpful features such as introductions, maps, and illustrations, offering readers guidance as they explore the narrative of Gods work in history and His promises for humanity. Widely used in both personal devotion and church settings, it remains a trusted edition for those who want to encounter the heart of Gods message in plain, direct language.
