- "The Sea Island Translation Team in cooperation with Wycliffe Bible Translators."--Title page verso.
- "This presentation of the Gullah New Testament translation has the King James (Authorized) Version in the margin for reference, alongside the Gullah text ... This is not to say the the Gullah text is a translation of the King James. This translation should not be seen as a Gullah version of any specific English translation, but rather is based on the original Greek manuscripts. Several English Bible translations were used for reference in the translation process, but the foundation of this translation is the Greek text, according to our best understanding today as to its original form."--Preface.
