Inspired by the Religion thread...

[Saulbadguy]

I'd like to read a bible, but not one that is so "wordy"..with all the thees, thous, begets, smites, smotes, smittens, etc...

I really just want to read about the stories, the characters, etc...I don't need spiritual guidance or anything like that. I just want to know what people are talking about.

 

Don't get the king james version.

 

[oneshot47]

NIV

 

[n7]

NIV Holy Bible.

(New International Version)

NIV is the easiest to understand and study, IMHO anyway.

 

[z0mb13]

hmmm I have to check the NIV bible

 

[Schadenfroh]

NIV all the way, read from front to back, really easy to read compared with king james (read about half of it), stay away from king james

Last time I read the Bible, I ended up with herpes in the morning.

Then again, I'm not sure if I was reading the Bible by myself. Is sex and the Bible compatible? What if the Bible is a willing participant?

That reminds me, I have to clean it off again.

Don't worry. My friends all mysteriously lost their Bibles that same week, and being the nice guy I am, I offered to lend my Bible to them for their use until they could locate another copy.

I think they make a Cliff Notes for the Bible. Either that, or Bible for Dummies.

A straightforward blow to the head with the flat of the book would do more harm, methinks. I wonder if anybody sells a Bible with a steel cover?

As others have said, New International Version is probably the easiest one to get through without it being too dumbed down. King James is way too tough to read through.

 

[mattlear]

Check out "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff" on amazon. It's a great read!

Here's the best online version of the bible I've seen so far.
