The World English Bible

Book Overview: 

The World English Bible, also known as the WEB, is an updated revision of the American Standard Version. It is one of the few modern-English translations of the entire Bible.

The World English Bible claims to be one of the few English-language Bibles custom translated to be understood by most English-speakers worldwide.

The World English Bible is a modern English Bible version that does not use archaic English (such as the KJV), and is not translated into Basic English. The World English Bible follows the American Standard Version's decision to transliterate the Tetragrammaton, but uses "Yahweh" instead of "Jehovah" throughout the Old Testament.

The work is based on the 1901 American Standard Version English translation, the Greek Majority Text, and the Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with some minor adjustments made because of alternate readings found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint. These alternate readings are usually ignored or restricted to the footnotes. The translation process included seven passes of editing and proofreading for each book. An initial automated pass updated approximately 1,000 archaic words, phrases and grammatical constructs.

Goodreads has set a limit of 25 on the number of times one can record rereading the same book. Since I reread the Bible three times a year (twice concurrently during the main BRC year and once during the summer), I've run into that limit here, so I'll have to start manually noting my read dates in t

To be clear I am reviewing the translation and audio version and not the Bible itself. I also ramble and don't focus on just a review of the book.

I chose to round up from what would have been a 7 (or even 6) of 10. I'm torn because I am understanding of some of the piecemeal problems that come from

Not my favorite translation

The Bible is a collection of manuscripts which were inspired by and sometime dictated by YHWH, the God of Israel. It is separated into two sections, Old Testament and New Testament (testament meaning - "telling").

The Old Testament is the the Jewish compilation called the Tanakh and is the historica

And the end is just genius!

Great

Two stars

I give it this rating because it is very hard to navigate. No index, no chapter divisions under chapter headings.
