Click to enlarge The Berkeley Version of the New Testament saw its greatest popularily following World War II on through the 60s. Its translator, Gerrit Verkuyl—originally from Holland, but long moved to the United States before achieving his Doctor of Divinity degree—had so mastered the Greek as well that in translating this Bible from the original documents into English, his result became poetic and especially desirable for reading aloud.  F.F. Bruce, author and once-Editor of the Evangelical Quarterly, wrote: "A masterpiece of evangelical scholarship which can hold its head high and unashamed among modern translations of the Bible." And recently, one Bible school faculty person agreed with this version having been chosen as the one for our free CD recordings: “Your love, Clif, for this version is understandable; the Berkeley Translation is quite elegant.” —Bill Ury, Ph.D., Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, MS. This above "The Holy Bible" title page inscribed to one Marilyn Caddell calls upon her to read Matthew 11:28-30. In the Berkeley it says Come to Me all you who labor and are heavily burdened and I will rest you. Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls; for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Everything about this version produces peace of mind, confidence for one, gentleness of heart and a placing of your soul at rest. It has been a favorite of Finis Dake (Dake's Annotated Reference Bible), Billy Graham (published, 1993), and The Gideons (published, 1986), among others. It is the favorite of no cult. Even before The Berkeley Version in Modern English Bible (copyright 1959), the independently published New Testament of Dr. Verkuyl's had many editions successfully sold out in the 1940s.

Or to read this translator's preface to the New Testament, visit our "KJV Comparison—Epistle of James" page Berkeley vs. KJV. A PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN. "O, Lord, come down, deliver us from the hateful, from those who despise the love of your Son Jesus. Name us among your chosen. Instill a fear of You in our hearts. Redeem us, and give us a victory that attests to Your greatness." Amen.

This website possibly offers insight into your topics of concern and interest: effective prayer, dismissing anger and depression, relationships of art to anger and a healing, and older prayers multi-aged children can learn. Some visitors wonder about the hereafter and so the page Heaven's Crowns is useful, the main thoughts being taken from the writing of G.D. Watson, a Holiness Methodist clergyman. For the subject Pontius Pilate there are two opportunities to learn more about his times; these are the novel Pilate's Dilemma—on line and free, and Pontius Pilate—the Movie, a 48 minute acted presentation available free as videostreaming (full-screen) here. All is here available to you in our effort to make life on earth more rewarding by having a close association with Jesus Christ who is, for so many, both Savior and spiritual Guide. Don't just let others (believers) have all the joy and satisfaction—become a person "of faith" yourself! A visit to our "Guilt over Sin" webpage and the "Gospel Tract" page will bring you to this new life and faith (it's a great listen to some Swedish rock music too!). And if you are a young person who is considering the placing of a tattoo on the lovely skin God gave you, visit our "Taquinto's Tattoo" webpage for an interesting dialogue between a student and retired professor that presents an upfront and frank assessment of any tattooing.

The "Part I" and "Part II" Gospel of John CDs and the Bible study based on them are available to you at no charge, with permission for Scripture use in production of these granted by the copyright holder of the Berkeley Version in Modern English Bible, Hendrickson Publishing. You should know that Zondervan (previous copyright holder) had three people, in 1969, revise —though I wish they had left it alone—the O.T. and the N.T. already produced by Gerrit Verkuyl and his multi-chosen translation team of forty scholars, chaplains, missionaries and ministers. They are the Misters English, Baebelein and Waterman of unknown denominational affiliation. The publisher at that time called it "a very extensive revision" and now Hendrickson Publishing holds copyright to "The Modern Language Bible/The New Berkeley Version in Modern English." In the year 2003, Hendrickson republished this last revision. The above links you to an inexpensive purchase price offering of a Berkeley Version Bible. Have you a need? Would a prayer on your behalf be felt as something helpful to you? Then email Clif Moberg here, and please be specific in your prayer request. God answers prayer(s)! Email.

This website declares that God is altogether good, and His works are pure!

When God created, the New Testament portion of the Bible tells us that He spoke and the word brought forth all that we see and feel in nature around us. It was His creation, and it was good, by His high standard. The word of God is in the land. It instructs. It warns us. And it gives us hope. It tells us the way for our salvation, and the words are trustworthy, because the One who spoke them is the Son of God. We are told in Colossians 1:16 that all things were created by Him, and in the Gospel According to John (1:3) that "Through Him everything came into being and without Him nothing that exists came into being." He has created us and the hope we have as "lost sinners": restoration, new abundant life, peace, holiness, and completeness. It is just a prayer away...
