The Holy Bible in the Language of Today: An American Translation Hardcover – January 1, 1976

by William F. Beck (Translator)

This Bible translation, known as the “Beck Bible” is also called The Holy Bible – An American Translation (AAT). AAT, of course, is not only a Bible for Lutherans. Being a faithful translation, not a paraphrase, of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts, it is a Bible for every Englishspeaking person who needs to learn of Jesus and His redemption. As such, the Lord used His servant, the late Dr. Beck, to do the major work on AAT, and other living servants to continue the work of polishing, publishing, and most importantly, preaching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The easiest Bible to read
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2013

I believe that every Christian needs to continue to pursue God, to continue to seek Him, to understand Who He is and what He wants us to do.
I've been walking with God for over 30 years, but have not been pursuing Him during all that time. I was reading the Bible a lot for the first few years, and then didn't read the Bible but very sporadically for years.
This Bible is the best of any that I've read (NASB, KJV, NKJV, NIV, The Message) for the way that Dr. Beck is able to make the thoughts of the writers flow. The AAT is not meant to be a literal, word for word translation, so it's nice to have something that sticks closer to the original languages to reference also, but this Bible has been a blessing to me to read. I've noticed many different facets of God's character that I hadn't noticed in other translations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The William F. Beck translation Bible is the best ever printed in English!

There is no better translation of the Bible in English than this by William F. Beck. It is very easy to read. The language/wording is clear and understandable without being too street wise, or trendy. It is very close to the original text. This is the most underrated Bible of all time. Also, it is easy to read, in a font/type that is not too small, with spaces between words and paragraphs. The paper is superb. This is not a poorly made book. This is the very best. There are almost no footnotes or annotations. It is very easy to read, with no hard words to try to interpret. This is a must for Bible scholars. It is a great experience to compare this to the first Bibles ever printed in English. I highly recommend this Bible!

4.0 out of 5 stars ALL Bibles are TRANSLATIONS [;-)
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019
Just recieved New Testament. I have most other translations. Easy to read. But remember: Every English bible is a TRANSLATION. It's someone or groups opinion what should be said. Not the original text. Example: 'Hell' was introduced about 500ad by the Catholic Church. Before that it was 'hades, gehena, or tartarus'. Soooo.... every translation has its issues. BUT....Bible word studies can be very interesting [;-) .......and so can help reduce divisions and hurts within the body.
