Our friends at BibleGateway.com have just added a new Bible translation to their library of online Bibles: the Common English Bible (New Testament)!

The Common English Bible isnt simply a revision or update of an existing translation. Its an ambitious new translation designed to read smoothly and naturally without compromising the accuracy of the Bible text. As the CEB translators did their work, a team of reading specialists from more than a dozen Christian denominations reviewed the text to ensure that the CEB is accessible to all English readers, including children, Bible students, and people encountering the Bible for the first time. The CEB represents the work of a diverse team with broad scholarship, drawing from over 100 scholarsmen and women from twenty-two faith traditions in American, African, Asian, European and Latino communities.

The result is a strong, readable translation that will be a welcome addition to your Bible study. Its available now in the Bible version drop-down menu at BibleGateway.com. You can read more about the CEB, or start reading!
