An American English Bible
With Old Testament based on the Greek Septuagint
This Bible isnÕt authorized by, nor does it represent the views of any religious group. Its content is the work of more than sixty online contributors
and the dedicated efforts of a few translators and editors who have spent more than twenty-thousand hours (to date) in this enormous project, and whose only
interest is in helping others to understand what the Bible truly says.
Since it is in the public domain, this English Bible, its Notes, and its Commentaries that are original to this work may be copied, used, and distributed as you may wish.
No memberships, sales, or donations are being sought here. However, we are open to suggestions, recommendations, and corrections;
for, its online format allows for needed changes (nothing is set in stone).

You will find the 2001 Translation – An American English Bible reads differently from other Bibles, because many of the words are
far more accurately translated, and because its OT portion is based on the Greek Septuagint text. Please check the blue
links to see why the words are translated as they are.
The 2001 Translation is not (and probably never will be) available in hard copy. Why not? Because:
1. It is still a work in progress
2. The links are a necessary part of this Bible and they don't carry over to the printed page
3. This is a free page and all its work is independently contributed, so we have no religious sponsors or means of
income to pay the printing costs.
