Bible in BASIC English

The Bible in BASIC English (also known as the BBE) is a translation of the Bible into BASIC English. The BBE was translated by Professor S. H. Hooke using the standard 850 BASIC English words. 100 words that were helpful to understand poetry were added along with 50 "Bible" words for a total of 1,000 words.

The New Testament was published in 1941 and the Old Testament was published in 1949.
