Svenska Kärnbibeln (SWESKB)

Overview

Svenska Kärnbibeln (Swedish Core Bible) is the first expanded (amplified) translation in a Scandinavian language, comparable to The Amplified Bible in English. [1] Founded by Jonas Bergsten, the project renders the source text alongside parenthetical and bracketed clarifications together with word-level, historical, and contextual annotations, expanding the meaning of Greek and Hebrew words directly within the text. [1] The New Testament was published in 2020, with Old Testament books available online. [1] Copyrighted 2017–2024, it is distributed free of charge under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license.
