Each one is very helpful!<BR/><BR/>It is so silly when people say that we must all read only one version.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading the New Jerusalem Bible for my next read-through. The translators of this version did not attempt to keep it in the tradition of Wyclif, Tyndale and the King James Version and it makes it fresh, I think.David McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027490637755317026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883318.post-29716901447149937632008-10-08T17:56:00.000+11:002008-10-08T17:56:00.000+11:00Thanks for typing this out.
