The Translation

The "Gute Nachricht Bibel" is a modern translation which carries the word of God in our time. It helps the people of today to find their own personal access to the Bible- and that beyond all denominational borders: So far the "Gute Nachricht Bibel" has been the only German translation which completely resulted from a cooperation of the Protestant Church, the Catholic Church and the Free Churches.

The "Gute Nachricht" translation has a communicative aim. Thus, in order to make the content and facts easier to understand, it renounces a literal accordance with the Hebrew and Greek original text. Instead it expresses the sense of the original text as accuarately as possible. Therefore it is perfectly suitable for all those who are looking for a clearly understandable Bible in a modern language.
