What Does “BSB” Mean?
BSB stands for the Berean Standard Bible.
The Berean Standard Bible is a modern English translation of the Holy Scriptures that seeks to be:
-
Accurate to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek
-
Clear and readable in modern English
-
Faithful to historic Christian doctrine
The name “Berean” comes from Acts 17:11, where the Bereans were commended for examining the Scriptures daily to see if what they were taught was true.
Why Does Tiny Faith Radio Use the Berean Standard Bible?
We use the BSB for Scripture songs and readings because it offers a careful balance of:
-
Word-for-word faithfulness
-
Clarity for modern listeners
-
Consistency across passages
This makes it especially well suited for:
-
Scripture memorization
-
Scripture set to music
-
Teaching children and families
-
Public listening and devotion
Our goal is not interpretation or paraphrase, but letting Scripture speak for itself.
Is the Berean Standard Bible Trustworthy?
Yes. The BSB is translated directly from the original biblical languages by a team committed to accuracy and reverence for Scripture.
It aligns closely with well-respected formal translations while using language that is natural to today’s reader.
