Worldwide English New Testament

The Worldwide English New Testament is a rendering of the New Testament into simple international English, prepared with readers in mind for whom English is a second language or who encounter the language in one of its many global varieties. Despite the similarity of names, it is distinct from the World English Bible. Its scope is limited to the New Testament, translated from the Greek, and it follows a simple or functional translation philosophy, favouring accessible vocabulary and straightforward sentence construction over formal correspondence with the source text. It is categorized as a fresh translation rather than a revision of an earlier English version, placing it among the twentieth-century efforts to produce Scripture in plain, contemporary speech. It is included in this catalogue chiefly as a completeness backstop for coverage of English translation and revision families, ensuring that comparatively less prominent projects are represented alongside the major lines of descent.
