Earlier this year IVP published The First Testament translated by John Goldingay.  You can read more about that here.

The Bridge Bible

Just saw a post on Facebook about another new translation called The Bridge Bible.  The website says:

The Bridge is an easy to read, easy to understand Bible translation for the 21^st Century. It is the most dynamic Bible translation available. The Bridge fills the gap between the biblical and contemporary world. It makes the meaning of Scripture clear by providing the context one needs to fully understand the Bible. The Bridge Bible makes it feel like the original authors from the biblical times are speaking directly to you today. In clear and straightforward language, the Bridge faithfully translates the original biblical texts into a user-friendly, easy to understand Bible. The Bridge brings the meaning of Scripture to center-stage and allows the contemporary reader to discover God’s truth through this new, innovative, and dynamic translation.

Revised New Jerusalem Bible

Here's another new one set to come out next year:  The Revised New Jerusalem Bible.

Dom Henry Wansbrough, OSB, translator of the New Jerusalem Bible, has produced a comprehensive revision of this much-loved biblical text, which recognizes the most up-to-date developments in biblical scholarship and written English linguistics, as well as the needs of the Church. The Revised New Jerusalem Bible is a truly 21st-century Bible.
     Since the launch of the Jerusalem Bible more than 50 years ago, one of the most important elements of the JB and the NJB has been their comprehensive study footnotes and book introductions. Inevitably, much of this outstanding scholarship needs to be updated. Dom Henry has written an entirely new set of notes and introductions, which provide context and explanation for all readers of the Bible and will place the RNJB at the forefront of contemporary Bible study.
