FAST....What is the best bible to get.....?

Question

if your intent is to read it like a novel? I need something easy to read, old and new testaments. I have a half day at work and want to pick something up on the way home...so give me your suggestions fast.

Answer 1

I think that you would enjoy the Message Bible. I personally like NIV study Bible. But Message Bible is the easiest to read.

Answer 2

There's a bible version called "The Message". It's written in dialogue like a novel, except it's non fiction.

Answer 3

If you want to read the *whole* bible, I have to disagree with all previous suggestions. Many versions are "abridged".

Here's two unabridged: http://www.allbibles.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=1585160210&eq=&Tp=&Bc=CE - very easy to read

http://www.allbibles.com/items.asp?Bc=NB&Cc=BIBCZRB&Tp=&BrandName=New+American+Bible&CatName=Catholic+Text+and+Reference+Bibles - any of these, not quite as easy to read as the CEV and translated by RCC (which may mean some bias - though it is highly regarded among many non-RC scholars).

These are the best complete easy-to-read bibles.

Answer 4

You could try a New International version. They are easier to read, without all the silly oldy worldy type lingo.

Answer 5

Seriously, go for a King James as it's the best of all. I've been using one for 40 years

Answer 6

New American Standard Version.

Up to date English and very well translated.
