When I was younger, I always liked the English of the Jerusalem Bible (JRR Tolkein was on the editorial committee), but it is not very literal. If I want to scan something very quickly or don't have time to do my own translation and want to provide one quickly for others, I probably use the NRSV most frequently.

I saw this on Facebook. He's misinformed about some things (eg, thinking that there were no single volume bibles until the Middle Ages) and the ASV text that he's working from is not based on better original language manuscripts, and some of the changes he's making (eg, getting rid of thee and thou distinctions is making the text less literal), but I really like the idea of eliminating chapter and verse numbers and all the cross-references common to study bibles. That will help make the text more like the originals and more like other types of literature that we are accustomed to read. I prefer to read the text without the addition of later chapter and verse numbers and modern punctuation.

Initially the project initiator was hoping to collect near 40 thousand $, but now hopes to get $1 million. I doubt it's worthwhile now to contribute, but maybe my faith is little!Tags: None
