Committee Note:
Evangelical
An evangelical translation with Lutheran roots. It has not become extremely popular. I suspect this is because it is positioned in terms of Bibles in a place similar to that of the NIV.
I don’t have any links to purchase God’s Word translation, but it can be read on BibleGateway. You can also purchase them from the publisher at GodsWord.org or on Amazon.com.
