It's not a new translation, it's a new format. Strip away the chapter numbers, verse numbers, story headings. Add in margins, novel-like format and paper, and a comfortable size font and you end up with the River Gospel. From Matthew to Acts, this newly-formatted Bible is comfortable to read, flows along, and pulls you into the story of Jesus and the early church. This Bible uses the World English Bible translation, a public domain translation with no copyright.
