How Popular Is
The Berkeley Version?
Gerrit Verkuyl faithfully translated The Berkeley Version in
Modern English. It was a favorite of Finis Dake; of Billy Graham,
who published it in 1993; and Gideons as well made use of it in
1986. Clif Moberg, of Woodland, California, recorded the entire
Gospel According to John on 2 CDs in Israel (Avi Yaffe Recording
Studios), and he now makes them free to you just for asking.

More About This Berkeley Bible
Translation
The Berkeley Version of the New Testament saw great popularity
just following World War II. The translator, Dr. Gerrit
Verkuyl—originally from Holland, but long moved to the USA before
achieving his Doctor of Divinity degree—had so mastered N.T. Greek
that his version became poetic and especially desirable to read
aloud. F.F. Bruce, author and once-Editor of the Evangelical
Quarterly, described it: “A masterpiece of evangelical scholarship
which can hold its head high and unashamed among modern translations
of the Bible.” Recently a Bible school faculty has agreed with a
comment, “Clif, your love for this version is understandable; the
Berkeley translation is quite elegant.”—Bill Ury, Ph.D., Wesley
Biblical Seminary.
