Common English Bible
The Common English Bible (or CEB) is an English translation of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, including the deuterocanonical books or apocrypha included in Catholic Church and Orthodox Church canons. The English used is intended to be at "a comfortable level for over half of all English readers," hence the name "Common English". The translation was begun in late 2008 and was finished in 2011.
