God’s Word is very possibly the most accurate English translation of the original text available today. God’s Word is a must-read for twenty-first century Christians.” — Dr. Larry Richards, Prolific Christian author and Bible editor
GOD’S WORD® was produced to meet a need unmet by other Bible translations: the need for a Bible that is both accurate by scholarly standards and written in readable, natural, everyday English. Its mission is to remain loyal to the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek manuscripts, yet do so using natural, contemporary English.
Some Bible translations are very scholarly in their approach to translation but use a form of English that requires readers to understand certain words, sentences, and phrases in ways that are not natural to the way in which the American English of today is either spoken or written. On the other end of the spectrum, other translations have sacrificed accuracy in their attempt to be easy-to-read and understand.
GOD’S WORD® was produced using a theory of translation that combines accuracy with understandability. This theory is called "closest natural equivalence". In short, closest natural equivalence concentrates on accurately translating the meaning of the original languages into natural English. At the same time, closest natural equivalence retains as many of the unique characteristics of the original text as possible without making the English translation unnatural or harder to understand than the original text was intended.
