Student Bible

The CEB Student Bible is a Bible by and for young people that invites them into deeper forms of both personal holiness and social holiness, that helps them make connections between the world of the Bible and their own world, that offers resources for engaging the text in personal and group study, and that embodies a commitment to taking young people seriously as Christian leaders now, not just in the future. It is a resource that helps young disciples of Jesus Christ as they transform the world.

The CEB Student Bible has the full text of the Bible in the Common English Bible translation, the most contemporary, readable, and reliable English translation of the Bible. It also includes the following features to help readers engage the Bible:
