Modern English Version Bible Translation Hits YouVersion
Have you read the Modern English Version (MEV) translation of the Bible yet? If you carry the YouVersion Bible app on your smartphone, you can start reading it today.
Passio, an imprint of Charisma House Book Group, publisher of the Modern English Version, announced the addition of the translation to the YouVersion Bible app this week.
“In this generation, smart phones and tablets are essential conduits to reach more people with the Word of God,” says Tessie DeVore, executive vice president of Charisma House. “The incorporation of the MEV into YouVersion’s global platform enables more of today’s Bible readers, who value biblical truth, to take His Word into any environment and impact their world.”
Founded in 2008 by Life Church.tv, YouVersion has become the world’s most popular Bible program for mobile devices, having been downloaded more than 140 million times to date. The user-friendly app is available at no cost for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and many other operating systems.
The MEV is the most modern translation produced in the King James tradition in thirty years. This literal translation maintains the beauty of the past yet provides fresh clarity for a new generation of Bible readers. The MEV also accurately communicates God’s Word anew as it capitalizes references of God, maintaining reverence of the Scriptures.
