What about the one from the vatican?
C.e.i. I think it was

>not reading the vulgar

Literal plebs

>>9891666
Good, decent notes and it has the Apocrypha as well.

>>9891864
CEI? The popular Catholic bibles are the RSV-CE, RSV-2CE (aka Ignatius Bible), NABRE, and NJB.

It's an original work of literature, not a translation, or the word of God.

>>9891879
Nice. I thought about getting a copy.

>>9891927
God exists.

But you're right, it's not the DIRECT word of God, the things that he has done or commands given though? For certain

>giving undue importance to a single translation

Given how many hands are all over the Bible, it's one of the very few cases where ">translations" makes sense. At the very least, pretending that any translation is flawless or above all others is just nonsense, even if and especially if you consider style.

>>9891654
If you are too stupid or lazy to learn Latin, then it is the best English translation of the Bible at least.

ESV is the best for Catholics. The text is good and it wasn't edited with a bunch of politically correct nonsense.

>>9892579
>An evangelical protestant translation is best for Catholics
There isn't even an edition with the Catholic canon you dumb bitch

>>9892675
Oxford University prints a version with the Apocrypha

>>9892367
you mean hebrew...?

>>9892812
The Bible is best read in Latin.

>>9892844
Thats like learning French because theres a really good translation of Ulysses

>>9892812
Catholics used to see Latin as a holy language, similar to the Koran/Arabic, even though yes of course the latin isnt the orginal.

>>9892849
>he didn't read Ulysée

>>9892367
>Not being at least B2 in biblical Hebrew.

>>9891654
It's a fanfic translation/rewrite of the bible, but it has literary merits.

It's apparently a fantastically well written book, prose-wise

>>9892812
You mean… Koine Greek?

>>9893770
You mean... Aramaic?

KJV, ESV, YLT, and the OSB are the best versions

KJV is the best not because it's the best translation, but that it's the best window into earlier Christianity. Modern, more accurate translations simply had no major impact on Christianity like the KJV did and you'll be more likely to recognize biblical themes and quotes in older literature if you read the KJV version.

>>9891654
>proddy bible
no
the Jerusalem Bible is best in English
the BEST bible though is probably in Greek or the Latin Vulgate
Greek is more poetic but Latin has better wording I think

>>9893926
Aramaic was what Jesus and the Apostles spoke, but the New Testament was written in Greek.

>>9891872
>vulgar
vulgate, lmao pleb spotted

>>9891654
regardless of people's opinion, culture/literature influence wise KJV is the one to go.

Just get Oxford's annotated nrsv
Thank me later

>no good annotated KJV Bible available in epub form
I tried looking for the one in OP's image but it's only in PDF. I have an OUP copy of the Quran in epub format so what gives

I couldn't make it through kjv. What's the easiest but not ridiculous translation?

>>9892349
>god exists
Okay senpai whatever you say

>when some1 says God exists
Rich-rd damn, that make me mad

>>9891666
The guy making notes does moralise quite a bit.
>my word, isn't this violence and sexism shocking to modern sensibilities
well yes it's the Bible

>>9891654
KJV? That's a weird way to say "Jerusalem Bible."

>reading the biblel unironically

>>9895668
>No I don't have to take a leap of faith to be an atheist.

Fuck off retard.
