The Word of God for All (SPAWTC)

Overview

"La Palabra de Dios para Todos" (PDT), known in English as "The Word of God for All," is a Spanish Easy-to-Read Version of the Bible produced by the World Bible Translation Center (WBTC). [1] The WBTC was founded in 1973 in Arlington, Texas, with the goal of producing clear, accessible Scripture translations in the world's major languages. [2] The Spanish New Testament was first published in 2000, and the complete Bible followed in 2005. [1] The translation follows a meaning-based approach intended to render the original text in clear, natural Spanish, using simple, contemporary language for readers across Latin America and Spain, including young people, new readers, those with limited religious background, and those who speak Spanish as a second language. [1] With over four million copies distributed, the PDT has also served as a reference text for translators of indigenous-language Bibles. [1] The WBTC later merged with Bible League International, which now holds the copyright (© 2005, 2008, 2012) and continues distribution. [2]
