Subject: What is the best version of the Bible? |
Bible Note: SavedandSure: Thank you also for your additional recommendation. I recently purchased the (updated) NASB/NIV Parallel Bible. This edition is very handy, especially when teaching a class. I have found that for me the two BEST study Bibles, the ones I use the most, are: 1) The MACARTHUR STUDY BIBLE (New King James Version); and 2) the RYRIE STUDY BIBLE: Expanded Edition (Updated New American Standard Bible). I also have 5 other study Bibles that I frequently consult. But the granddaddy of all study Bibles remains the SCOFIELD REFERENCE BIBLE (KJV). It's a classic. The most recent addition to my small library of study Bibles is the Hebrew-Greek KEY WORD STUDY BIBLE (1977 NASB). So many questions posted here could by answered by the questioner himself if only he had access to one of the better study Bibles. In lieu of owning a study Bible, one can always use the online study tools available for FREE at: http://bible.crosswalk.com/ www.blueletterbible.org/index.html www.bible.org/index.htm http://worldenglishbible.org/ (Apparently when I'm talking about Bible translations and editions, I am incapable of being brief. :-) Hope you don't mind.) kalos |
