For what it is worth, coming from someone who only accepts the part of the bible that speaks of the benefits of humanism,,,,,,,,, allow me to recommend a bible to you all.
It is the New English Bible AND THE REASON FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION is two-fold:
1. The cost -- very reasonable for a beautiful bible
2. The version I have, purchased last year, has over 60,200 references ranging from historical, to textual (brief word studies and the like).
If you do not have big library, or as much as you would want -- be it O.T or N.T -- this is an awesome reference.
Go to www.netbible.com and you have all the information you desire. For the layman -- this is good.
Jd
You can thank me latter !!!!!
Incidentally, it is not the version (the translation that I like but the notes).
