I think the NRSV is the best all around English translation and use it as my personal Bible. It is accurate, uses the best contemporary scholarship linguistically and textually. It also has standard English. But my NRSV has something in common with the KJV ... it has the apocrypha.<BR/><BR/>Shalom,<BR/>Bobby ValentineStoned-Campbell Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807468566670784346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-14973587504153393842007-03-10T23:09:00.000-06:002007-03-10T23:09:00.000-06:00A little more info on the 21st Century KJV.http://...A little more info on the 21st Century KJV.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/21st.htm" REL="nofollow">http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/21st.htm</A>Splinters of Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899357787697070658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-87586301181419755072007-03-10T21:46:00.000-06:002007-03-10T21:46:00.000-06:00Stephen,I have glanced through it.It can be viewed...Stephen,<BR/><BR/>I have glanced through it.<BR/><BR/>It can be viewed at:<BR/>http://www.biblegateway.com/<BR/>http://www.kj21.com/<BR/><BR/>They now have the Third Millennium edition:<BR/>http://www.tmbible.com/<BR/><BR/>TimSplinters of Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899357787697070658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-37932765034899205702007-03-10T21:13:00.000-06:002007-03-10T21:13:00.000-06:00I've never read the KJV21. have you?I've never read the KJV21. have you?SCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775959834373934666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-26528819118106317832007-03-10T18:38:00.000-06:002007-03-10T18:38:00.000-06:00Tim, I like the KJV best.

However, I am currently reading the HCSB. I have enjoyed the ESV as well. I have the NIV but am not sold on dynamic equivalence so I don't refer to it often. I have also enjoyed reading some of the other translations as they tend to open the eyes/mind to better understanding of the text. When I preach or teach in a public setting, I still tend to use the KJV as the text, both from habit (I like the way it reads) and from the fact that most of the people that I speak to tend to be most familiar with it.<BR/><BR/>RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-34145955574763136612007-03-10T08:43:00.000-06:002007-03-10T08:43:00.000-06:00I enjoy the KJV the most, but use the ESV for stud...I enjoy the KJV the most, but use the ESV for study.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298746343015121418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-59848584966984760462007-03-10T00:39:00.000-06:002007-03-10T00:39:00.000-06:00For general purposes, I read the KJV.

I prefer my KJV/NIV parallel when teaching, it gives me a ready reference to expound on the old English words. For recreational reading, like in a waiting room or on a plane, I enjoy the Good News Bible, which is a paraphrase I believe.Sista Calahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490376459710128024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-57498335278287133652007-03-09T15:01:00.000-06:002007-03-09T15:01:00.000-06:00Have you ever reviewed the 21st century KJV?"The 2...Have you ever reviewed the <A HREF="http://www.kj21.com/" REL="nofollow">21st century KJV</A>?<BR/><BR/>"The 21st Century King James Version of the Holy Bible (KJ21®) is an accurate updating of the King James Version (KJV) of A.D. 1611.
