The Bible, as a Book.

As we have had many requests concerning which bible to read, while not having any
religious ties
From Norval;
The ones I found good were the Catholic St. Josephs Student edition, Oxford Cambridge
New English Bible with Apocrypha, and the big Jehovah's Witness study bible. In all I
have about two dozen translations in english from various time periods. There are other
books that should be in the bibles of modern times, I can only say you decide on what
other ones, after you have read the New Testament (Greek writings) first, and then work
your way backwards starting with Malachi of the Old Testament (Hebrew writings). I too
have a duplicate of the origional KJV of 1611 and it is one of the few that cross
references 2nd Esdras and Revelations, Daniel, and so on.

The computer on line bibles are excellent for word study and topical studies research.
Also, as Gale mentions, we have the 1995 version of the American Bible Society's
CDROM data base, (now unavailable), which includes the Apocrypha and
Deuterocanonicles along with Strongs numbering, and many other research works.
