>>25231832KJV is the superior translation.
>>25231832i have this one and its great
>>25231832if you wanted to read the Bible you would listen to alexander scourby read the kjv day and night for two years. but instead you think the Bible is the most important book ever and miraculously is available to you and also that you want someone else to interpret it for you
pretty good https://bibletime.info/
https://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/poly/index.htm
>>25231832Whatever amuses you until you’re ready to study a text with some substance to it like the Bhagavad Gita
>>25231832Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. The NIV cultural commentary is supposed to be great for historical notes
>>25232010The ESV Study Bible is one of the most ecumenical, broadly Protestant study Bible. The Reformation Heritage KJV is my favorite Reformed study Bible in the KJV. Lots of notes from figures like Calvin, Luther, the Puritans, etc.>>25232010This is such a bizarre list. Jewish Bibles, a mainline liberal Presbyterian Bible, a modern translation from an Orthodox eisegete, and others. If memory serves McClellan is a Mormon YouTube guy with some bizarre takes. I can't understand why you'd read a dozen translations from a wide spectrum of traditions and views rather than just buying good Greek and Hebrew lexicons and referring to the original languages.Actually given the recent trend of the Mormon church abandoning their traditional views to re-brand themselves as just a sort of kooky version of Protestantism it makes sense.
NOAB, OSB or if you want something lighter, rsv2ce has all the right references and annotations. After reading the OT you'll wonder just how Jesus came out of that culture. And see why it took two dedicated and highly placed infiltrators years to change the catholics over from BURN THE JEW to LOVE THE JEW.
Does anyone here have the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible? Slightly edited KJV w/ Apocrypha single column bible.
>>25232114SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>25231832interlinear is pretty cool
Gospel Library app
>>25232262>McClellan is a Mormon YouTube guyHe is from a mormon background, but as far as I know he is quite critical of mormonism and is a reputable bible scholar.
>>25232573McClellan is a Mormon who denies the Trinity and the deity of Christ, instead arguing that the biblical authors were actually polytheists. He rejects the virgin birth and the divine inspiration of the text, but modern scholarship is so broken that it treats his attacks on the faith as reputable discoveries rather than simple unbelief. A scholar who specializes in dismantling the text he's supposed to be explaining isn't an expert but an unbeliever.
>>25232668cry more fag
>>25232668I also recommend you to read Christianity and Liberalism by Machen. It's very short and kays out the issues of modern critical scholarship without being polemic.
>>25232679I get you're a fan and enjoy his streaming content, but there's a lot at stake here and just maybe it's unwise to get your theology from YouTubers
>>25232695I have never even watched any of his videos.Nice try though, I'm glad to know my comment hurt you.
>>25232518Reverse interlinear Bibles are even cooler.
>>25232698Thank you for the thoughtful engagement with my criticisms.
>>25232262Oh yeah, something I just got recently was the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible. I chose the NKJV version, but there's an NIV translation as well. By the way, there's another similar title that's about to be released thst focuses on the early church as well, but I can't recall the title at the moment. Maybe another anon can chime in.
No good Orthodox study bible yet. Still waiting for the Ancient Christian Study Bible. Using these two for now.
>>25232762Forgot pic.
>>25232766Wish you had
>>25232779
>>25232392I have it. Not worth it, desu.
>>25232699it sounds cooler. what's the difference?
>>25231832
>>25234563the translation is on top, with the corresponding greek or hebrew below, following the translation syntax, with morphology and concordance information beneath that.i suggest the esv reverse interlinear (ESV), the a greek-english lexicon of the new testament and other early christian literature (BDAG), and the new international dictionary of new testament theology and exegesis (NIDNTTE) edited by silva. depending on which manuscript family you trust, you might also want the novum testamentum graece (NA28) for the modern critical text or the textus receptus (TR) if you are a received text guy, as either provides a clean reference for the original sentence flow that a reverse interlinear necessarily pulls apart to match english word order. of course you'd probably opt for berry's kjv reverse interlinear if you're a TR guy.
>>25231832The one with the DEI gender-neutral cuck language.
>>25234886also, for anyone interested in studying the greek.. it takes like 1 day to learn the greek alphabet.. then you can look up words easily in your lexicon. use anki flashcards or something. find the greek alphabet song (set to the tune of twinkle, twinkle little star) on youtube. simple.
>>25234886The fuck is the point of that. At least an interlinear has the Greek in the right word order, this is just retarded.
>>25234904>fuck is the point of thatit's for people who don't know the ins and out of greek grammar, but still want to be able to do word studies... which is like 99.9999% of christians
>>25232668>>25232573Last I heard he was removed from his teaching position for being cringe iirc and like all second-rate academics is now a Youtuber
>>25231832>>25232262I use ESV and Reformation Heritage KJV. Latter is great for the beauty of the language and providing some good reformed scholarship, but I wish the notes/commentary were more extensive, which is where the former comes in handy. You get lots of maps and little bits of contextual history which is nice for OT reading, and also stuff about the Hebrew and Greek words being translated which RH KJV rarely gets into.
>>25231832This is how you red the bible.
>>25231832Jefferson Bible
>>25234913There is a growing trend of people in supposedly respectable positions pivoting to full-time youtube. Kind of sad really.
>>25235453Get Sproul’s Reformation Study Bible. There's also the New Geneva Study Bible, which is out of print, but someone compiled and published the notes as a standalone two volume set. They're on Anna's. Beeke's RHKJV is more experiential and devotional, whereas Sproul's is more theological. Kind of ironic given Beeke's precision as a systematic theologian.Also, nobody's mentioned Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible. Great resource. Five volumes.. consider the New Matthew Henry Commentary if you're early days in your studies.
>>25232668Thanks for the heads up, anybody who denies the trinity isn't Christian.
>>25235892There's also the New Geneva Study Bible if you prefer notes thst align with the KJV/NKJV*They're about the same otherwise.
>>25232668>but modern scholarship is so broken that it treats his attacks on the faith as reputable discoveries rather than simple unbelief.I think that's how it has been since the 18th century. They make theories without any evidence and then treat it as a gospel. I don't think there is much of value in it.
>>25235909Yeah, that's been the general trend since the Enlightenment, reducing the Gospel to a mere social and moral framework.
Which one would be the most suitable if I want to understand Church as a clerical institution up until reformation? I've no interest in the faith itself really, rather more why and how it was part of the European social and political fabric in the middle ages.
>>25235987You'd be better served by a church history book.There's a two-volume work whose name escapes me, but the first volume was written by Everett Ferguson
>>25235993I see, I'll look that up then. Thanks for the rec. I'm just afraid that many references to the Bible in other writings from the period would go over my head, so having the context of what the writers are referring to would be helpful for getting into the headspace of the living back then.
>>25236006Try C.S. Lewis' "The Discarded Image"
>>25236014>synopsisVery cool, thank you kindly.
>>25235987Daniel-Rops is the best author on this.
