As the best-selling nonfiction book of all time, the Bible has been translated into thousands of versions and languages. These include literal translations (word for word from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek), dynamic equivalent translations (thought for thought) and free translations (paraphrase).

The best-known versions include American Standard, New American Standard, King James, New King James and New International. With the emergence of the Internet, smartphones and tablet devices, the Bible is even more accessible now. Numerous websites and mobile applications make it easy to compare and contrast different translations.
