International English Bible

Written at a reading level that most people in the world can understand, the International English Bible is accurate, transparent, and easy to read. The IEB presents the Word in simple, clear, modern English, using a vocabulary of only 4,000 words (not counting proper names). Difficult terms, instead of being transliterated, are translated into simple English to make their meaning clear. An extensive introduction thoroughly explains the features of this unique translation, with more than 18,000 footnotes offering great detail for readers seeking more in-depth study. Includes modern equivalences for measurements, times, money, volume, and distance. The large 12.5-point type makes for easy reading.
