Title: Open English Bible
Date: 2010-2012
Publisher: openenglishbible.org
Contents: New Testament is complete but under revision, work has started on the Old Testament, with drafts of Psalms, Esther, Ruth and some of the Minor Prophets.
Availability: The Open English Bible is available as a download on the Internet. Its home page may be found at http://openenglishbible.org/, with downloads available as well as the facility to read online.
Comments: The New Testament of the OEB is being formed on the base of the Twentieth Century New Testament, in particular the revised edition published in 1904. As such it is based on the critical text of Wescott & Hort. The OEB aims to be a scholarly defensible mainstream translation usable within a religious community. Unlike the World English Bible but like the REB, NIV etc, the OEB is not based on a source within the Tyndale tradition.
