Preface

Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians,

for they received the message with great eagerness

and examined the Scriptures every day

to see if these teachings were true.

¨C Acts 17:11

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) is a freely shareable translation of the Holy Bible, effective

for public reading, study, memorization, and evangelism. Based on the best available

manuscripts and sources, each word is connected back to the Greek or Hebrew text to

produce a transparent text that can be studied for its root meanings.

The BSB represents a single tier of the Berean Bible. This printing contains the full BSB

text, footnotes, section headings, and cross references. Additional components, including

translation tables, lexicons, outlines, and summaries, are free online and in a variety of apps

and software.

The Berean Bible Translation Committee has employed an open process where translation

tables are freely available and all comments are welcomed and considered. These sources may

also be downloaded and shared freely. Please see the Berean Bible website for a full description

of the translation committee and process.

We pray that this text will enable readers to connect with God¡¯s Word to study it, memorize it,

share it, and proclaim it. We are inspired by the model of the early Christian church:

After this letter has been read among you,

make sure that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans,

and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

¨C Colossians 4:16

The Scriptures belonged to the churches and were meant to be examined, copied, and

distributed. The committee hopes to follow this example by sharing all the resources with which

we have been entrusted.

Just as Paul encouraged the churches to pass on his letters, the Berean Bible is intended to be

offered freely in websites, apps, software, and various text and audio formats.

Publication and Sharing

We desire to share a Bible text that is free from any and all licensing and publishing constraints.

The Berean Bible is freely available for use in print, audio, software, apps, and websites.

Tiered Translation Structure

The Berean Study Bible is the modern English translation tier of the Berean Bible. The four

tiers are as follows:

1. An interlinear Bible to directly follow the Greek and Hebrew texts.

2. A literal translation to take the reader to the core of the Greek and Hebrew meanings.

3. A modern English translation, effective for public reading, memorization, and evangelism.

4. An emphasized translation to bring out the full meaning and intensity of the original texts.

All sources are linked through to the original source, making the multi-tiered translation process

transparent. The translation databases and lexical information are freely available at the Berean

Bible websites. Thus the translation process can be followed even by those without extensive

training in Greek and Hebrew.

The translation tiers also provide study support by enhancing the expression of meaning on

multiple levels. Since languages often do not translate in a one-to-one fashion, the multiple

tiers facilitate a fuller translation that is able to contain both ¡°word for word¡± and ¡°thought for

thought¡± renderings.
