God's Word to the Nations Bible Society (originally incorporated in September 1983 as Know the Truth Foundation, and later renamed Luther Bible Society) is formed to revise an earlier work by Dr. William F. Beck, The New Testament in the Language of Today, published in 1963. Following Dr. Beck's death in 1966, the remainder of the Old Testament is completed by a small group of Lutheran scholars. The entire Bible is published in 1976 as An American Translation (AAT).
Recognizing the need for further updating of this work, a committee is formed in 1978 by Rev. Phillip Giessler, a Cleveland area pastor. In 1982 Rev. Giessler begins a full-time revision effort with the assistance of a full-time English stylist. This revision of Beck's earlier New Testament work results in the publication of the New Testament: God's Word to the Nations (a form equivalence translation of sorts) in November 1988. GOD'S WORD® is introduced to the marketplace by World Bible Publishers (Iowa Falls, Iowa).
