FAQ
Q: What does the (BWE) in the product name mean?
A: BWE stands for the Bible in Worldwide English. The BWE consists of the New Testament written in easy, worldwide English, using a vocabulary of only 1,500 words plus names - much fewer than any other simple English edition. Each word and phrase has been carefully checked to give true understanding in different countries and regions.
This version was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, Miss Cressman found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand. Miss Cressman used the Authorised (King James) Version - itself an easy English version of its day - rather than make a fresh translation from the Greek language. She taught and wrote down the New Testament in words and sentences that she knew her students would understand.
In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.
