Rainbow Good News Bible: (GNB)

Product Information

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Throughout the Good News Bible's story, there was one other person whose contribution helped make the Good News Bible what it is: Annie Vallotton.

At the very heart of the Good News Bible’s story is one man: Eugene Nida. A prominent linguist as well as a Baptist minister, Eugene Nida was a key figure in the field of Bible translation. He was a founding member of the Wycliffe Bible Translators, a linguist at the American Bible Society before rising to the level of Executive Secretary for Translations, and ordained as a Baptist minister in the same year he received his Ph.D. in Linguistics. The achievement that has outlasted all of these, though, is his development of a new way to translate the Bible: Dynamic Equivalence .When her work came to the attention of Eugene Nida, the two of them arranged to meet. Ten minutes into that first meeting, Nida and Vallotton came to the agreement that she would provide illustrations for Good News For Modern Man .

So, what is the true meaning of the rainbow? To answer that question, we must look beyond the children’s coloring books and really weird movies to the Bible — the only truly infallible, inspired, and authoritative source of truth that we have.

God's Promises Symbolized by the Rainbow

I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.- Jeremiah 29:11 The need for the Good News Bible came from somewhere further afield than most other Bible translations. This new approach to translation has been embraced by a wide range of Bible translations since. These include the NLT, the Jerusalem Bible, the NIV Bible, the CSB, and dozens more. Dynamic Equivalence is how a huge number of Bibles are translated to this day, but was pioneered in the Good News Bible. This modern version of the Bible in mid-20th century American English, prepared by a group of American biblical scholars, is also known as the Good News Bible. Taking advantage of the many archaeological and manuscript discoveries as well as the insights of linguistic and biblical scholarship since the 16th century it was designed to meet the needs of a world-wide explosion of evangelism in a secular world where English had become the dominant international language and a familiarity with traditional theological terminology could not be assumed. Its style avoids the looseness of paraphrase as it translates the deep structures of the text in its original languages. This pioneering version has set the pattern for innumerable new translations and revisions of the Bible in other languages as well as in English. Over 40 million copies of the Good News Biblehave been distributed world-wide since its first printing.
