What is Original Bible Project mean?
The Original Bible Project is a project to produce a re-ordered new translation of the Bible into English led by James Tabor. The Project is a non-profit organisation. The translation is expected to eventually be published under the name Transparent English Bible. As the abbreviation TEB is already in use for Today's English Bible, it is abbreviated "TEV" for "Transparent English Version".
The project was advertised as early as 1992 in the back of the Bible Review of the Biblical Archaeology Society, and an article Genesis Translation of the Transparent English Bible appeared in the liberal arts magazine of Augustana College in 2006. and has also been mentioned in book jacket biographies of Dr. Tabor. The Project's aim is to produce a new version, the Transparent English Bible (TEB) by 2012–2014. The first book, Genesis may be published in advance before this date. Tabor said:
When we reach that stage I have no doubt we will be able to secure a major mass market trade publisher that will offer us the kind of wide distribution and publicity that we would want. However, I don’t think we will see finished copies of the TEB in bookstores until 2012–2014, first the Hebrew Bible and then the Greek New Testament. We are still in the translation and editorial stages of the Project and its final preparation for publication, even when we are ready, will take up to two years, judging from my experience with trade publishers. In order to finish this project I will have to be at a place in my own professional life where I have completed my own administrative duties that have taken up 60% of my time the past four years, which will not be the case until May, 2010 at the earliest.
The initial translations of the project have already been cited in some non-scholarly works.
