'''Liberal Bible Translations''' are attempts to distort or change the Bible towards a liberal meaning. These efforts are often funded better than straightforward translations, and typically benefit from more promotional and advertising funds. Invariably the publisher or translators deny that they have a liberal agenda or belief system.

== Signs of a Liberal Translation ==

Here are some common signs of a liberal translation:

* political correctness towards gender by using "gender inclusive" language
* downplaying the existence of [[Hell]]
* downplaying the deity of [[Jesus]]
* downplaying the power of the [[Holy Spirit]]
* denying the prophecy of the virgin birth of Jesus
* downplaying the prohibition on homosexuality
* downplaying the differences between men and women
* editorializing on passages to push a liberal point of view
* adding content

== Examples of Liberal Translations ==

* Today's New International Version
* Amplified Bible
* New Jerusalem Bible
* New American Standard Bible
