Uh, I don’t know how it is these days, but there definitely was a “modern French” version of the full Bible, when I was a kid. And that was an Adventist church so it’s pretty sure there is the same in the US.
I also had the whole bible as a comic book, very accessible.
Are you saying that you need something like the Simple English Bible, for normally educated US audiences?
I’m not trying to comment on that, but lots of people everywhere benefit from simple text versions of things. That’s why there’s a simple English Wikipedia and a leichte Sprache version of German government websites.
They would serve their goals better by casting a wider net. There’s also an unfortunate overlap between people who need simple language versions of texts and vulnerable people, whom churches normally like to target.
