Hi, The Open English Bible is a completely free modern English translation of the Bible, under a Creative Commons Zero license. It provides a complete New Testament, Psalms, and some Old Testament books.
The New Testament of the OEB is being formed on the base of the "Twentieth Century New Testament", in particular the revised edition published in 1904. The Old Testament books which have been completed at this stage lean heavily on the work of John Edgar McFadyen and Charles Foster Kent, both of whom were very respected turn of the century Old Testament scholars. The normative text for the OEB New Testament is the Westcott & Hort critical text. The normative text for the OEB Old Testament is the Codex Leningradensis, specifically the electronic version of the Westminster Leningrad Codex. Upstream provides two distfiles, the US English and Commonwealth English versions, which I put in separate packages. ok? -- Anthony J. Bentley
