Draft:Berean Standard Bible

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB), formerly called the Berean Study Bible, is a public domain (CC0) English translation of the Bible first published in 2016. It was produced in cooperation with Bible Hub, Discovery Bible, OpenBible.com, and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.

Translation Tiers
The BSB is part of a larger Berean Bible project of four translation tiers:


 * 1) An interlinear Bible to directly follow the Greek and Hebrew texts. (Berean Interlinear Bible)
 * 2) A literal translation to take the reader to the core of the Greek and Hebrew meanings. (Berean Literal Bible)
 * 3) A modern English translation, effective for public reading, memorization, and evangelism. (Berean Standard Bible)
 * 4) An emphasized translation to bring out the full meaning and intensity of the original texts. (Berean Annotated Bible)

Majority Standard Bible
Part of the same project, The Majority Standard Bible (MSB) is a version of the BSB whose New Testament is conformed to the Robinson-Pierpont majority text. It was dedicated to the public domain with the BSB in April, 2023.

Editions
The project and first print edition used the title Berean Study Bible, in spite of the absence of study aids typical of other products marketed as "study bibles". By the second edition, the project was renamed Berean Standard Bible.
