Development

The OEB continues to be developed to move towards our goal of a clear, modern and usable translation which is a scholarly defensible mainstream translation usable within a religious community.

On a regular basis, new versions of the OEB are created and linked to on the front page. However a current version is also kept, which reflects the current status of the GitHub sources:

New Testament and Psalms

This is the version you should comment on if you wish to suggest changes to improve the accuracy or clarity of the OEB.

The base Greek text for the New Testament, the Westcott & Hort critical text is available. This is the definititive version for questions of what the Greek is for the purposes of this project. Interested people can also read the original Twentieth Century New Testament that served as the starting point for the OEB.

Psalms alone

There is also a version of the book of Psalms by itself, which can be downloaded as a pdf. More information about this version is available from the PDF. It is currently only available in Commonwealth spelling.

Comments should be made on the New Testament or Psalms by contacting us on the email address at the bottom of this page, or by adding an issue at the OEB Issue Tracker, which acts as our primary repository of suggestions and decisions.
