The
Good News Bible (
GNB), also called the
Good News Translation (
GNT) in the United States, is an English translation of the
Bible by the
American Bible Society. It was first published as the New Testament under the name
Good News for Modern Man in 1966. It was anglicised into British English by the
British and Foreign Bible Society with the use of metric measurements for the Commonwealth market. It was formerly known as
Today's English Version (
TEV), but in 2001 was renamed the
Good News Translation in the U.S., because the American Bible Society wished to improve the GNB's image as a "translation" where it had a public perception as a "paraphrase." Despite the official terminology, it is still often referred to as the
Good News Bible in the United States. It is published by
HarperCollins, a subsidiary of
News Corp.
