The Bible shows us who God is and reveals his plans for us. It is a collection of ancient books written by various writers over many centuries. But its true Author is eternal, and its message is as relevant and powerful today as in ages past. However, the English language into which the Bible has been translated continues to change. That’s why the Good News Translation was developed. It uses contemporary language to make the Bible clear and accessible to today’s generation of readers.
The Good News Translation is:
· A true translation, meaning it was actually translated from the Greek and Hebrew languages in which the Bible was originally written.
