The First Oral Bible Translation in English

Josh Frost

The story of Jesus's birth, performed from memory, by the Spoken English Bible team.


The Spoken English Bible (SEB) and its associated application, Akuo, are significant steps forward in the world of media within the Bible translation movement.


The Spoken English Bible was created to serve the global church by offering a model oral Bible translation in American English. This oral Bible translation draws on the full range of modern American English genres to faithfully communicate the messages conveyed in the original biblical texts. For instance, the Psalms are rendered as songs, the Gospels as vivid narratives, and the Epistles as public speeches.
