The new ecumenical Hungarian Bible translation project began in 2017, following guidelines established by the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity and the Bible Societies. This translation effort involves both Catholic and Reformed experts and has received approval from the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference. The project is characterised by a novel approach, where biblical scholars from philological, exegetical, and theological perspectives refine the base text prepared by the stylist. The goal is to enhance understanding for readers without a theological background by using shorter sentences and focusing on larger text units. Additionally, the project aims to avoid or clarify theological “technical terms” that are less known or have lost their meaning today.
