About the Author

The Common English Bible is a translation completed in 2011. One hundred and twenty biblical scholars from twenty-two faith traditions worked as translators. These women and men balanced rigorous accuracy in translation of the ancient texts with an equally passionate commitment to clarity of expression in contemporary English. The result is a clear, direct, and powerful English version of the scriptures for use in Bible study, devotional reading, and worship.

Common English Bible

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Readable: It means more than reading phrases on a page. It means truly comprehending the words, the sentences, the ideas, and their meaning. Within its refreshingly approachable language, the CEB sets the reader on a path to new understanding.

Reliable: The CEB was built on the assembled knowledge of a diverse, cross-denominational group of 120 biblical scholars translating directly from the original ancient texts—not revising tradition or inserting church doctrine. Exhaustive attention has been paid to ensure the work is impeccably balanced and rich in context.

Relevant: The times change, but the Bible is always a sure guide. It meets you where you are, providing guidance for every situation you face and every season of life.

Great Bible but missing a verse...

Great Bible but missing a verse...
This is a great Bible, easy to understand so I bought this version for my husband, however while reading it today we realized that a verse was missing. Matthew 17:21 is non-existent. How does that even happen?! A whole verse eliminated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Bible, Inside and Out
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2013

I purchased this Bible because I wanted a copy of this new translation. It was recommended by my seminary professors and a number of pastors I know. The translation is striking! This translation catches the idioms of the original languages so you understand not just the words but how they would have been heard by the original listeners. Some familiar texts are different, of course, but they are intriguing more than jarring. Here is a bit from John, chapter 1:

1 In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
2 The Word was with God in the beginning.
3 Everything came into being through the Word,
and without the Word
nothing came into being.
What came into being
4 through the Word was life,
and the life was the light for all people.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness doesn’t extinguish the light.

The poetry of the original remains, but there is a new clarity to the words. Many modern language Bibles are really paraphrases of other translations, like The Message. (The Message is terrific, but I want to be clear about what it is.) The CEB is a new translation drawn from the original languages, and the direct translation brings integrity and authority to the text. I have found that reading different translations help us deepen our understanding of the Bible, and this is an excellent addition to whatever translation might be your favorite.

Now about THIS CEB Bible. In addition to personal use, I will be using this copy in leading worship, and the hardcover book is beautiful. The softly mottled brown is a lovely color the copper accent shines, and there is a cool texture to the cover. I chose this large print to get a nice size font for public reading and when it arrived I found there is plenty of space between the lines as well--very easy on the eyes! The pages are thin, but there is very little bleed through. On pages where the verses are arranged in poetry form you can see a little gray shadow from the text on the other side, but it is very light and you can't make out any letters, so it doesn't affect readability.

I think this is a beautiful book, inside and out. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A rival for the NRSV? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2010

I wasn't even aware that this translation was in the making. What a pleasant surprise to come across it!

As a progressive Christian, I have always used the NRSV as my go-to translation. Widely used by moderate biblical scholarship and a pillar for most mainline/liberal/progressive churches, it is a translation of high value.

The philosophy of the NRSV was to straddle the middle of the road. It aimed to be literal enough for "serious" bible study yet readable enough for the common person. I think it did a great job on that score. Yet it always has had a stiltedness to it, due to its predecessor, the even more "literal" RSV.

The CEB is a very welcome new translation. Its readability is superior to the NRSV for the average reader. Its scholarship is based on a very qualified group of moderate, theologically diverse biblical scholars. What I have read, so far, seems not to have sacrificed any accuracy to its readability.

Previously, I have complimented the NRSV, for my own use, by using the New Living Translation, a competent evangelical translation, that is absolutely fantastic for reading the Bible in large chunks at a time. The NLT is fluid, elegant in its simplicity, and as transparent as a crystal-clear lake.

Now, I think the CEB, when its final version comes out (2011?), will take the NLT's place for me and what I would take with me to church or Bible study and grab to just plain read.

Let me be clear, the CEB does not provide much of the sometimes brilliant translation work of, say, the older New English Bible or the Jerusalem Bible. Sometimes, these kind of translations enabled one to see Bible verses in fresh, provocative, new ways. The CEB, however, is much more workman-like and almost pedestrian. However, it is far more consistent and reliable to these translations, while remaining very easy to read.

My final comment is folks, its time to realize that Bible reading may be best served by moving to electronic readers like the Kindle or iPad. From highlighting verses, making notes, to quick navigation (esp. the iPad), to saving trees, this is a great way forward. Amazon provides a Kindle version of the CEB NT that you can access both from your Kindle or iPad. For $4 how can you go wrong?

The navigation problems with this book have now been put right. It includes a table of contents and links to individual chapters for each book of the Bible. The CEB is one of my favourite translations and to have the books in Vulgate order is a real plus.
