GNT is the Good News Translation of the Bible, published by American Bible Society. Some editions of the Good News Translation contain line drawings of biblical events by Annie Vallotton .
The Good News Translation is written in a simple, everyday language, with the intention that everyone can appreciate it.
The Good News Bible was born out of the translation theories of linguist Eugene Nida, the Executive Secretary of the American Bible Society’s Translations Department. In the 1960s, Nida envisioned a new style of translation called “dynamic equivalence,” that is, the meaning of the Hebrew and Greek would be expressed in a translation “thought for thought” rather than “word for word.”
