It had its beginning in 1965 when, after several years of exploratory study by committees from Christian Reformed Church and the National Association of Evangelicals, a group of scholars met at Palo Heights, Illinois, and concurred in the need for a new translation of the Bible in contemporary English. This group though not made up of official church representatives, was transdenominational. Its conclusion was endorsed by a large number of leaders from many denominations who met in Chicago in 1966. Responsibility for the new version was delegated by the Palo Heights group to a self-governing body of fifteen, the committee on Bible Translation, composed for the most part of biblical scholars from colleges, universities and seminaries. In 1967 the New York Bible (now the International Bible Society) generously undertook the financial sponsorship of the project--a sponsorship that made it possible to enlist the help of many distinguished scholars. The fact that participants from the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Austtralia and New Zealand worked together gave the project its international scope. That they were from many denominations--including Anglican, Assemblies of God, Babtist, Brethren, Christian Reformed, Church of Christ, Evangelican Free, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, Wesleyan and other churches--helped to safeguard the translation from sectarian bias.
