“Whitaker House is honored to have the opportunity to publish the Berean Bible. This translation has been so well-received in recent years by readers and offers a rich understanding of the Scripture through thoughtful interpretation and diligent scholarship. We look forward to the partnership and expanding the reach of this compelling translation.”
-Christine Whitaker, Publisher, Whitaker House
Meant to be shared between people, cultures, and generations, the Berean Bible was created with the modern reader and the Great Commission in mind. Developed to push the frontiers of mission work, the hope is that it will reach people in the far four corners of the earth.
The Berean Bible is a completely new English translation of the Holy Bible, done in a contemporary style, and effective for public reading, study, memorization, and evangelism. Inspired by the zeal of the Bereans in Acts, and based on the best available manuscripts and sources, each word is connected back to the Greek or Hebrew text to produce a transparent text that can be studied for its root meanings. Additional components, including translation tables, lexicons, outlines, and summaries, are available online and in a variety of apps and software.
“We wanted to humbly stand on the shoulders of those who preceded us. Get a consensual view of how they all flow together. Not depart from those lines. But where added readability or anticipated reader confusion was a point, we would have original language experts on both sides of the language aisle in Hebrew and Greek and work with the stylists so we could put something forward—a translation you could trust.” -Dr. Gary Hill, advisory Editor and lead coordinator for Berean Bible
Form-centered, smooth, open source, and developed to anticipate the cultural knowledge and understanding of a new age, the Berean Bible is ideal for the next generation of those seeking God or spreading His word to others.
“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” – Acts 17:11 (BSB)
