Berkeley Version
The Berkeley Version is an English translation of the Bible. The New Testament was published by Zondervan in 1945 and an entire Bible was published in 1959. A revised version was published as the New Berkeley Version or Modern Language Bible in 1969.
According to editor-in-chief Gerrit Verkuyl: "The conviction that God wants His truth conveyed to His offspring in the language in which they think and live led me to produce the Berkeley Version (BV) of the New Testament. For I grew increasingly aware that the King James Version (AV) is only, in part, the language of our people."[1]
