Efforts in Japanese Bible Translation Since 1965
by Bernardin SCHNEIDER, OFM

Shinkaiyaku seisho (New Japanese Bible)
Organized and sponsored by the Lockman
Foundation in 1961 by a number of evangelical
groups who thought the 1954-55 Japan
Bible Society colloquial version too free in
some respects, the Shinkaiyaku Seisho
Kankokai undertook an entirely new translation
of the Bible. After a pilot edition issued
in July 1963, the Gospel of John was
published by the Inochi no Kotoba Sha in
December of that year. In November 1965,
the New Testament was published by the
newly-formed Nihon Seisho Kankokai
(Japan Bible Publishing Society), with Inochi
no Kotoba Sha as the agency. After a
separate publication of the Psalms in September
1968, the Old Testament and
slightly revised New Testament was published
in one volume in September 1970. It
soon became widely used, even among
Roman Catholics.
