Read the Bible Aloud

For me the perfect Bible would be one that has a remarkably fresh and innovative translation reflecting the latest God honoring scholarship while sounding reassuringly traditional whenever desired! Obviously the two are unlikely to be found together, but you asked! :)
ReplyDeleteKing James Version and Young's Literal Translation parallel or perhaps HCSB and YLT parallel. Wide Margined. Neither is really my dream Bible but they'd be nice.
