The Good News Bible was the world’s first truly “easy-to-read” Bible translation. In its first edition published under the title Good News for Modern Man it was a bestseller, and today is still the UK’s most popular Bible translation.The GNB aims to give today’s readers maximum understanding of the content of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. It does not follow the traditional vocabulary and style found in historic English Bible versions; instead, it attempts to present the biblical content and message in standard, everyday, natural English – and it’s regularly updated to make sure it reflects contemporary English usage. Published by Collins in partnership with the Bible Society.

”'Too many people read the Bible with a severe face, but I say no, the Bible is not that. The Bible is life, and it is wonderful!” - - Annie Vallotton, Illustrator.
