1 | The Prettiest "New American Bible"? | Bible general Archive 4 | andrewset | 195871 | ||
Hello, I decided I'm going to read the whole Bible, front to back, followed by the Catechism of the Catholic Church, (aka the Newer Testament :P just kidding) by separating them out as evenly as possible throughout the upcoming year of 2008, starting on New Years Day and finishing before 2009. I want to select the prettiest updated New American Bible I can afford, a Bible I can be proud of calling the one I read everything from, since I'm committing myself to doing this. The kind of Bible someone would want to be buried with. I imagine a perty hardcover one of a dark color, possibly with elaborate ornate gold designs on it. Something like that. Full-color paintings inside it somewhere would be a plus, as well as a larger text size, but not necessary. I'm also used to each page being split up into 2 columns, not just 1. My current Bible is 'The New American Bible,' and the latest date I can find printed in it is 1991, (Revised Psalms) so as long as the new Bible is a New American Bible of 1991 or newer, that's fine. (It's a red paperback Bible with a white cross design on the front, that many of you probably know of.) If you could point me to any website or bookstore that may have a pretty New American Bible that I'd like, please let me know. Or whatever other description that would point me to it, such as the publisher or so forth. Thank you |

Dear Andrewset, If you look online at www.Christianbook.com you will probably be able to find one that you like. The New American Translation of the Bible is a good translation and that's what is most important. It is also a pretty understandable version. Don't simply keep it as an ornament, though. Really get into it. To get to know the Word of the Lord is a treasure beyond measure. -Itiswritten |

Sorry - I did not mean "pretty" as is beautiful or lovely to look at but as is one of the more understandable versions to read. I prefer to encourage a person to read the Word no matter where it may be found, as long as it is a good translation, not criticize their attitude whether mature or immature. Sorry for the misunderstanding...I used an expression that was a poor choice of word. - Itiswritten | ||||||

Yes, don't criticize... But, and most especially, do not leave people in their immaturity... Discern the degree of their maturity... then love them enough to encourage, exhort, correct, and reprove (2 Timothy 4:2; Titus 1:9). | ||||||
