Published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the New World Translation of the Bible is used solely by the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The entire work was originally published in 6 volumes, from 1950 to 1960. While the first volumes contained marginal references and footnotes, the revised one-volume edition, published in 1961, contained neither. A second revision was released in 1970, and a third revision, with footnotes, was produced in 1971. It was again revised in 1984.
The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT) is a modern-language translation of the Bible published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. and the International Bible Students Association of Brooklyn, New York. It was not the first translation to be published by them, but it was their very first original translation of the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic texts.
The English translation is currently available in several editions, including a pocket-sized edition, a standard edition with cross-references, a reference edition with extensive footnotes. It is also available on audiocassettes and CDs (in MP3 format). For those with vision impediments the NWT is available in a four-volume large-print edition and in Braille. For the deaf, the NWT is available in part on DVD in American Sign Language.
