Bible Question:
I have been interested in different Bibles sold in the US and the actual sales in numbers in the US. I went to CBA Retailers Resources and found the following information. Listed in order of the highest volume of number of sales first. Here are the top ten for the month of February 2014, the latest available information. 1. New International version 2. King James version 3. New King James Version 4. New Living Translation 5. English Standard version 6. Holman Christian Standard Bible 7. New International Readers Version 8. Reina Valera 1960 9. New American Standard Bible 10. Common English Bible. I found it interesting that the order of these Bible sales have stayed basically the same for the last three years. The Message used to be #10 and the N I Readers Version was not even listed in 2012. Here are my questions. Have you changes the version of the Bible you mainly use in the last three years? What Bible do you use mostly now? It has been said the Bible is one of the best selling books; but it is the least read. How often do you read your Bible? Thanks for your reply, and God Bless you. justme |
Bible Answer: I read two chapters of the Old Testament and two chapters of the New Testament a Psalm and a Proverb each day. In a year I will have read the Old Testament over the New Testament twice the Psalms twice and the proverb each month. At the end of the year I switch to different translation and do it again. Different translations with different sentence structure, different words trigger new insight to me. For study I use the NASB and for preaching I usually preach from the NKJV. Through the years I have read most Bible translations I like most but I have long since removed the NIV and derivative of it from my rotation. Simply don't like it or it's publisher Zondervan. |
