Subject: What do you think of new Holman Bible? |
Bible Note: For Bible study and reading I usually use the NASB, NIV, and AMPLIFIED. In regard to the KJV (Authorized Version): The version available today is different from the original one produced in the 1600s. It has been updated, corrected, and reworked many times. It is a beautiful Bible translation that has blessed countless people. P.S. As a lifelong Southern Baptist, I believe that the 10-12 million dollars (assuming your amounts are accurate) invested by SBC and Holman in publishing another English language Bible should have been spent in mission projects or in translating Bibles into the languages of those who have no version of God's wonderful Word. Look at the real, selfless nonprofit work of Wycliffe and the enormous task yet to be done in the world. Those Holman millions would have reached a great number of the ignored unsaved. |
