Subject: Features of best possible study Bible |
Bible Note: Thanks, My daughter requested a good study bible because she is in a bible study group which is dominated by a couple of people with head knowledge not heart knowledge. She wants an accurate translation so that when she makes a point they will not be too quick to dismiss it. We have a NLB which is much better than the original Living Bible but not really suitable as a study bible. Besides the NLB only cost about eight dollars and she could pick up one for herself if she wanted to. I could have bought her a bookman (after all it is a 21st present) but I agree with you that a bible is to be read not used for proof texts at 20 paces. My hope is that I have taught her well and that she will use the bible as an aid to support the less confident when they are right and provide another voice of reason within her study group. Regards, Mark. |
