Common English Bible is ‘different,’ says reviewer

by Ernest Clevenger

(BNc) – Nashville, Tenn., is famous for many things. To country music it is Music City, and the music publishing hub of America. To book publishing, it is the home of Thomas Nelson Bible Publishers, the home of Ingram Book (world’s largest book publisher and retailers).

To the church it has one of the largest concentrations of churches of Christ in America, and two brotherhood publishing companies, Gospel Advocate and Twenty-first Century Christian.

For more than 150 years Nashville has been home to large religious-based publishing houses: National Baptist Publishing Board (R. H. Boyd Publishing Company), Southern Baptist Convention, United Methodist, Lifeway, and Gideons International are a few of the larger ones.

It is not surprising that the Common English Bible (CEB) chose Nashville as its headquarters for developing and publishing a new Bible, one they have been working on for more than two years. It is advertised as a bold translation readable by a broad range of people aimed at more than half of all English readers. It is different! Read more

The dream of God: Jim Dearman on Barry Gilreath, Sr.

by Jim Dearman, GBN Program Director

In April of 2004, I received a phone call from a man with a dream.

The man was Barry Gilreath, Sr., and the dream was to launch a 24-hour-per-day television network to reach the world with the gospel of Christ.

Yes, Barry Gilreath, Sr., who passed from this life on June 7, was a dreamer; but he was a dreamer in the best sense of the word. His dream was to make the dream of God a reality in his lifetime. Read more

The ascendancy of online news media

BNc Commentary
by J. Randal Matheny, editor

With the revelation of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s sordid secret life by Andrew Breitbart’s (photo) websites, both print and broadcast media were forced to acknowledge the factual reports of Breitbart’s investigative journalism as the congressman himself admitted to his lies.

While the online journalist was reporting on the case and defending himself against accusations that he was the hacker of Weiner’s Twitter account, the best the “New York Times” could do was to tweet at the congressman’s confessional: “Representative Anthony D. Weiner Acknowledges Communication With Women Online.” Read more

Concordance to the Ndebele Bible

by Ken Green

WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. (BNc) – I have before me the Concordance to the Ndebele Bible, written by Foy Short, long-time missionary to Zimbabwe. The Ndebele language is spoken by people in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Short, who recently turned 90, is the compiler and principle editor of the concordance, which he has been working on for the past ten years. He was quick to point out that it would not have been possible without those who financially supported the effort and those who assisted with the typesetting, editing, proofing, and suggestions of words that should be included. Short’s son Harold expedited the work tremendously with his computer programing expertise, and several others played essential roles. But without Short seeing the need and setting out to do something about it, it most certainly would not have happened. Read more
