Abstract
Is it possible to produce a clear and accessible translation of the Bible with all its difficult passages, and make it attractive and appealing? How can plain language be used as an effective and powerful tool?
This book describes how the Dutch ‘Bible in Plain language’ (Bijbel in Gewone Taal) came to be published in 2014 by the Netherlands Bible Society. It is an in-depth account of the aims and methods needed to embark on this project – to produce a Bible in a language which can be understood by all.
