1 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | kalos | 25114 | ||
Hank: I think I am *entitled* to my own specialized study Bible. I want one specifically tailored to meet the needs of middle-aged male veterans who were born west of and now live east of the Mississippi River and north of the Mason-Dixon line, drive Honda cars, drink only Coca-Cola in bottles and have 37.49 percent fewer cavities. Seriously, I think we've had about enough custom-made study Bibles. On the fly leaf of the MacArthur Study Bible is written the following: "In this day of specialized Bibles, The MacArthur Study Bible is a breath of fresh air. Because it doesn't just fit your lifestyle. It transforms your life." Amen and amen. My point here is not that the MacArthur is the only or the best Study Bible. My point is, I'd like to see the publishers forget the idea of study Bibles to fit every lifestyle. Let their goal be to produce study Bibles that do a thorough job of explaining the historical, geographical, cultural and language context and unfolding the meaning of the text. Examples of study Bibles that meet this goal include, but are not limited to, the MacArthur, the Ryrie, the Zondervan NIV and NASB Study Bibles and the Harper Study Bible. kalos P.S. The New American Standard Bible IS the most literally accurate English translation of the Bible - period. Which version is the most readable is up for grabs. I wouldn't even attempt to say which one has the greatest readability. |

2 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | LisaMarie | 25136 | ||
Guilty Guilty Guilty! [lisa waving her hands wildly] I love my NIV Knowing Jesus Study Bible. I love my NIV Women of Faith Study Bible. I love my NASB Personal Study Bible. [snivel mode: ON] My poor little NASB pocket bible sure gets a work out, but it doesn't have all the fantastic notes, nor any maps. [snivel mode: OFF] New Jerusalem Readers Version is ok but a bit of a yawner. Here is an excellent guide complete with reading "grade level." http://www.zondervanbibles.com/translations.htm LOL, Kalos! I think the NIV Knowing Jesus might be a shoe in for readability. Very easy on the brain. But seriously: Has anyone read the NASB Inductive Study Bible? Recommend? Not recommend? Don't bother telling me I've got enough bibles. You'll be flapping your lips in vain.

I use many translations, including the NRSV, NAS, NKJV, AMP, and RSV. When a reading is not clear, I use the WEB, KJV, NET, ASV, and the ALT. I generally favor the more "critical" translations, because I clearly believe the TR/M-Text has many doubtful passages such as Mark 16:9-20, 1 John 5:7-8, John 7:53-8:11, etc. If are concidering a translation, I recommend the NRSV. It's clear and its based on the best MSS we have and clearly have and marks the doubtful passages I listed above. It also uses inclusive language for humaninity and NOT for the Godhead. |
