The Original Bible Project is a project to produce a re-ordered new translation of the Bible in English led by James Tabor. The Project is a non-profit organisation. The translation is expected to eventually be published under the name "Transparent English Bible (TEB)", although TEB is already a common abbreviation for Today's English Bible (TEB).
The project was advertised as early as 1992 in the back of the Bible Review of the Biblical Archaeology Society, and an article Genesis Translation of the Transparent English Bible appeared in the liberal arts magazine of Augustana College in 2006. and has also been mentioned in book jacket biographies of Dr. Tabor. The Project's aim is to produce a new version, the Transparent English Bible (TEB) by 2012-2014. The first book, Genesis may be published in advance before this date.
The initial translations of the project have already been cited in some non-scholarly works.
