The Clear Word

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Clear Word (originally published as the Clear Word Bible) is a paraphrased version and bible commentary published by the Southern College Press of Southern Adventist University which is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Clear Word Bible is not produced, nor endorsed by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, but was written as a personal devotional exercise by Dr. Jack Blanco, former professor at Southern College. It is printed in chapter-and-verse format, two columns to the page.

The Adventist Church does not use the Clear Word edition, which includes passages from Ellen G. White’s writings, for its worship services and Bible studies around the world, but quotes from Bible translations such as the King James Version, the Revised Standard Version, the <a href "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_American_Bible">New American Bible, the New International Version, and others.
