The OEB is a modern translation created by editing the Twentieth Century New Testament translation[1], and derived from the Greek Wescott-Hort text. The OEB aims to be a "scholarly defensible mainstream translation", which is intended "not to push any particular theological line". The reading level of the OEB "[corresponds] roughly to the NEB/REB or NRSV", that is, High School reading level.[2] The OEB's initial release was in August 2010,[3] although a preview of the Book of Mark was released in March 2010.[4]

Copyright Status

The Open English Bible's copyright is held by Russell Allen, its author. It has been released under public domain[5] with modified versions distributed under a different name.[2] The OEB has been described as an "open source" translation.[6]

The OEB is distributed online using BibleWebApp.com software[7] at http://openenglishbible.org/read/. It is also available in "simple html" and plain text versions.[5]
