G...I think that you are quite right about the KJV. Great to read for the expressions and language, but not accessible for today's Christian.<br /><br />Which brings me onto the different versions, we seem to get a new or revised version almost weekly. Just look at Amazon to keep up.<br /><br />Among the many bibles I have acquired including NIV & NRSV versions two that I use are the recent Revised ESV which is clear language and the Anglicised NRSV which happens to have the Common Worship readings for the three years in it, as well as simple service formats. Very useful indeed.<br /><br />The Revised ESV is virtually a study version, so well is it annotated and it includes maps and contextual notes as well as the normal commentary type notes.<br /><br />Perhaps I'm a cynic, but are not many versions rushed out to get a piece of what is a lucrative market. The Bible still being the best seller worldwide?UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
