THE FREE BIBLE VERSION (FBV)
The Free Bible Version (FBV) is a new English language translation that has been produced by biblical scholar Dr. Jonathan Gallagher who has translated the whole of the Bible from the Greek and Hebrew texts. The FBV is an actual translation rather than just a paraphrase or a synthesis of already existing translations.
While we usually recommend Bible translations done by teams of scholars, the FBV does have some noteworthy advantages. It is a generally good translation and importantly it does not attempt to reflect the beliefs of any specific faith community – but to simply reflect what the Bible says. While most Bible versions only allow a certain number of verses to be quoted or reprinted, the Free Bible Version has been made available for unrestricted use as long as it is acknowledged as being the FBV.
This freedom of use is particularly important for missionaries, teachers, and others who need to be able to distribute large sections of the Bible without charge or licensing issues. It is also a readable and worthwhile translation for the individual who likes to have several versions available for comparison in personal study.
