About
The Modern Text Bible is a re-expression of Scripture in clear, natural English for today's readers. Every verse has been carefully rewritten to keep its original meaning and emotional truth, but with the warmth and rhythm of modern speech.
Our goal is not to simplify the Bible - it's to make its language familiar again. Words change over time, but the message doesn't. The Modern Text Bible aims to bridge that gap so anyone, whether reading for faith, study, or curiosity, can understand what was meant without needing translation on top of translation.
Each passage is crafted using careful linguistic study and modern tools to ensure both faithfulness and readability. The result is a Bible that feels timeless, but sounds like people actually speak in 2025.
The Modern Text Bible is an ongoing project - built openly, iteratively, and with deep respect for the text.
