Is there a /lit/ approved version of the Bible? I've been wanting to read it from a more scholarly/historic standpoint than traditional editions but there's far too many annotated and translated versions to choose from.

The King James and Robert Alter's are the only translations which are considered great literature, afaik

If Harold Bloom is our Lit&Savior, then you wanna read King James, and if you want to read more than one, the Tyndale bible is beautiful in its own way.

The Jerusalem Bible is really good. It is the official Catholic Bible and has tons of footnotes, introduction texts and things like that. The translation is really accurate too.
