From their website, translated:

If you are reading the old Bible, you'll soon find out it is no fun. Time and time again you get a warning that something is wrong with your money, or that you have to do something. Always that negative, strict, moralistic teaching. Well, finally time has caught on! It is time to take some bold steps, time for a new Bible translation: The Western Bible! Perfectly suited for the Western consumer! We cut out everything that does not suit the 21st century. Not a word about money or poverty. You can let your children read this without any worries.

It doesn't say on their website, but it would be very sad if it wasn't. So I presume it is.

Does it come in a pamphlet?

Dennis, you can order it for E 2,50, and it says it contains:

* the 10 commandments
* part of the wisdom litterature
* part of the prophecy about the future of God and people
* the Beatitudes
* the last judgement

Oh, so this is a "fundamentalist" paraphrase? :p
