The World English Bible is a public domain (not copyrighted) modern English translation of the Holy Bible. It is a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901, with corrections based on the best available Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. The World English Bible is written for English-speaking people all over the world, so it avoids local idioms and language fads. It balances understandability, accuracy, and preservation of the style of the original writers. Because the Holy Bible is inspired by God, it continues to help people of all backgrounds.The entire text of the World English Bible is available at the URL shown on the front cover, but it is nice to have a nice printed and bound book to read.This edition is only the New Testament plus Psalms and Proverbs. The rest of the Old Testament is still being edited.
