The images of Bible verses are created starting from the verses in the Basic English Bible and are made vailable freely for download and use. A link to our website is appreciated to let others know about this free image library. The Bible in Basic English was created in the 1940s by S.H. Hooke, an English language scholar. He wanted to make the Bible accessible to people with limited English, those learning it as a second language, and those with low literacy. To achieve this, he used a simplified vocabulary of just 850 common words, with minimal grammar. This made the text easier to understand, though some argue it loses some of the poetry and nuance of the original. Despite this, it has been praised for its clarity and continues to be used today by many, particularly in education and evangelism. Lausanne AB church is pleased to freely provide the images.
