About this app

The Holy Bible: Easy to Read understand Version (ERV) is an English translation of the Bible compiled by the World Bible Translation Center. It was originally published as the English Version for the Deaf (EVD) by BakerBooks.

Deaf readers sometimes struggle with reading English because sign language is their first language. The World Bible Translation Center (WBTC) decided to do a translation that would make reading the Bible easier for them. The EVD uses simpler vocabulary and shorter sentences to make it simpler to understand. Ervin Bishop did most of the translating for the WBTC. He used a thought-for-thought or functional equivalence method of translation. It was found to be useful for others who struggle with reading and is often used in prisons and literacy programs.

Ratings and reviews

This Bible is written in such a way that a young child understands clearly. The language is so friendly and straight to the point. Guess what, adults sometimes also fail to understand what they read, but with my easy to read you won't get wrong. I had a hard copy since 1992, now it's so old that's why I opted for a soft copy. Still I prefer hard copy. Old age.

I love the easy Bible version. It's functional in all ramnification. Pls do everything possible to download it, i bet you, you will enjoy fellowship (koinonia) with God while studying it. It's easy to understand with the help of the Holy Spirit.

It helped me get closer to the word of God , it's always in my face since I use the phone all the time meaning it reminds me to read it . It's easy to read and understand , it is perfect , totally recommend it
