Father Jake Stops the World has the story on a new version of the Bible written for, well, people who don't normally read the Bible.
The Southern Baptists are also publishing their own version of the Bible (rumor has it that the Book of Revelations has been renamed “When George W. Bush became President”).
For the record, I read the New Revised Standard Version published by the National Council of Churches. Though I often compare what is in there with other versions. Doing so helps me to understand how different people in different places and times read the Bible and preached it.
Did you know that there are several versions of the Bible? The next time someone tells you it is true because it says so in the Bible ask which version and how it was translated.
