Church-Centric Bible Translation

Church-Centric Bible Translation (CCBT) is a paradigm of Bible translation focussed on the establishing and strengthening of the church using a translation process that is led by leaders of the church and done by Christian 'believers' translating into their own language, as an integral part of their theological and spiritual formation.

CCBT provides the Church with unrestricted freedom to use the highest standard of biblical resources and technology to create, check and publish their translations. CCBT overcomes the licensing obstacle by open-licensing everything that the global church needs (e.g., content, tools, and training.) It overcomes the language obstacle by providing open-licensed resources in all the Gateway Languages so that the church in every language can use the resources through a major language they understand. All content found on the CCBT website is open-licensed (CC-BY-SA).

Five Bible stories have been translated into one of the 120 minority Chadian languages using the church-centric Bible translation model.

American Translation

An individual's attempt to find their own voice while living as a modern American, often involving assimilation from their own culture in some form.

For many immigrants in America, the American Translation describes the process of shaping a personal identity while coexisting with aspects of one’s cultural background in life in the United States.
