The Contemporary English Version has been described as a "user-friendly" and a "mission-driven" translation that can be read aloud without stumbling, heard without misunderstanding, and listened to with enjoyment and appreciation, because the language is contemporary and the style is lucid and lyrical. The Contemporary English version is not a paraphrase, but an accurate and faithful translation of the original manuscripts.

The Good News Translation |GNT, formerly called the Good News Bible or Today’s English Version, was first published as a full Bible in 1976 by the American Bible Society as a “common language” Bible. It is a clear and simple modern translation that is faithful to the original Hebrew, Koine Greek, and Aramaic texts. This Bible uses simple everyday language and vocabulary shared by everyone regardless of age or background. The "dynamic equivalence" in translation communicates the meaning and style of the original in a unique way. The GNT was born out of the translation theories of linguist Eugene Nida, the Executive Secretary of the American Bible Society’s Translations Department. In the 1960s, Nida envisioned a new style of translation called “dynamic equivalence,” that is, the meaning of the Hebrew and Greek would be expressed in a translation “thought for thought” rather than “word for word.”

Not true translations but rather paraphrases intended to make language even easier to understand than functional (“thought-for-thought” or “dynamic”) Bibles, Paraphrase Bibles bring the text into the world of the reader by summarizing, rephrasing, and even “transculturating”—replacing ancient metaphors and literary structures with concepts and terminology familiar to today’s readers. Therefore, paraphrases go beyond the formal and functional spectrum. Paraphrases are particularly helpful for those who know the Bible well and could benefit from reading Scripture in a fresh way. The Paraphrase Bible Bundle includes The Message: Complete OT/NT (MSG), Living Bible (LB), Word Come Alive New Testament Paraphrase, and Good News Translation with Apocrypha (GNT).
