ENDORSEMENT: “Our reading group was transformed by this experience of reading and commenting on the Common English Bible. It’s significant that people from age 15 to 85 were so fired up by reading the translation.” -–Eileen Parfrey, Springwater Presbyterian Church, Estacado, Oregon

The Common English Bible is not simply a revision or update of an existing translation. It is a bold new translation designed to meet the needs of Christians as they work to build a strong and meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The Common English Bible is committed to the whole church of Jesus Christ. To achieve this, the CEB represents the work of a diverse team with broad scholarship, including the work of over 115 scholarsmen and women from 22 faith traditions in American, African, Asian, European, and Latino communities. As a result, the English translation of ancient words has an uncommon relevance for a broad audience of Bible readersfrom children to scholars.
