Names of God Bible
The Names of God Bible is a systematic revision of divine names carried out within the GOD'S WORD translation tradition. Covering the complete Bible, it rests on an English base with Hebrew naming, taking the GOD'S WORD Translation as its predecessor and base text. Its translation philosophy aims at readability while restoring and transliterating the divine names, so that terms rendered in many English Bibles by conventional titles such as LORD or God appear instead in transliterated Hebrew forms. This approach places it within the broader category of specialized textual revision or adaptation rather than independent translation, and it belongs to a wider modern current of English versions that seek to make the naming practices of the Hebrew scriptures visible to contemporary readers. Its most distinctive characteristic is arguably this classification itself: it is better understood as a specialized revision than as a wholly fresh translation.
