Description

The Contemporary English Version (CEV) began as a result of studies conducted by biblical scholar Dr. Barclay M. Newman in 1984 into speech patterns used in books, magazines, newspapers, and television. These studies focused on how English was read and heard, especially by children. This led to a series of test volumes being published in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The translators of the CEV followed three principles. The CEV:

  • must be understood by people without stumbling in speech.
  • must be understood by those with little or no comprehension of "Bible" language.
  • must be understood by all.

The CEV was first published in 1995.
