In that vein we are now about to have the "Aussie Bible".

Due to be published in August by the Bible Society of New South Wales, it will have
an initial print run of 30,000.

In a country with steadily falling Church attendance, Richards said he wanted to make
the Bible accessible to all Australians.

The Bible Society's Martin Johnson said that the vernacular version was not meant to
be disrespectful.

"It's slightly cheeky, I suppose, but certainly not meant to be irreverent.

"It's done with a large amount of care."
