The Good News Bible (GNB), also known as Today’s English Version (TEV), was first published in 1966 by the American Bible Society and has since become one of the most widely used modern translations. It employs a dynamic equivalence approach, translating the sense of the original text into simple, natural English. This makes it highly readable, even for those unfamiliar with traditional biblical language. The GNB was designed to be accessible to people of all ages, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds, making it especially valuable for outreach, youth ministry, and cross-cultural contexts. It is also notable for its clear line drawings by Swiss artist Annie Vallotton, which have become iconic. Over the decades, the GNB has been adopted by churches, schools, and individuals around the world for personal devotion and public reading. Its enduring popularity reflects its ability to communicate Scripture’s message with clarity and warmth.
