New English Bible, The
Outline : The New English Bible is a translation of the whole Bible in current English undertaken by the major Christian bodies (other than the Roman Catholic) of the British Isles. It is not a revision of the Authorized Version, nor is it intended to replace it
Work on the Old Testament has occupied a group of scholars and literary advisers for over twenty years, and no pains have been spared to make the translation as accurate and as intelligible to the modern reader as possible.
For the New Testament in this edition, the translators have reviewed their work and taken account, where it was thought advisable, of suggestions and criticisms made since it was first published in 1961: no extensive or radical changes were foand necessary, and improvements are largely confined to matters of detail.
The whole work has been done under the authority of the Joint Committee whose members represent the Churches listed on the back cover. in the less stages, the Committee was joined by Observes representing the Roman Catholic Church in England and Scotland. The translation is not the expression of an denominational or doctrinal standpoint; it aims to be in style neither traditional nor modernistic, but is offered as a new and authoritative version of the Bible for use in worship, for teaching, or for private reading.
