The present paper analyzes the various approaches to translating the Bible into English. The differences concern denominational traditions, linguistic strategies, or the level of political correctness of the target language. The denominational traditions differ in the accepted canon of biblical books and in the preferred linguistic strategies. The linguistic approaches oscillate between formal equivalence, emphasizing the role of the source language structures, and dynamic equivalence, focusing on rendering the meaning in preference to form. A number of contemporary English versions of the Bible employ inclusive language, omitting or changing the traditional masculine language forms of the biblical language.
