Bibles the Version of the Bible Translation Is Listed on the Second Bibles The version of the Bible translation is listed on the second line of the call number, and a complete listing of the versions available is found at the end of this section.

  • Citing Scripture
    Citing Scripture This handout gives basic information on citing scripture according to the MLA, Chicago/Turabian, and APA formats. Although this handout focuses mainly on citing the Bible and the Book of Mormon, the guidelines provided apply generally to religious works (e.g., the Qur’an or Bhagavad Gita) with chapters and verses, or similar components, standardized across versions and translations. Other religious texts, such as the words of current religious leaders, are cited according to media type: book, magazine, website, etc. This handout is based on MLA Handbook (eighth edition), The Chicago Manual of Style (seventeenth edition) and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (sixth edition). For each topic below, the corresponding handbook section is listed in parentheses. While this handout provides general guidelines, writers should always tailor their work to their audience and assignment. Chicago and Turabian Two Citation Styles: There are two styles for citing sources in Chicago: the author-date system and the note- bibliography system. Examples of both are included in this handout, but religious and historical papers usually require a notes-bibliography citation style. Note: Citing scripture is the same in Chicago and Turabian formats. Note-Bibliography System (14.238–14.241) Footnotes or Endnote Citations: The first note includes the full or abbreviated name of the book (10:44-48 addresses abbreviations in detail), chapter, verse, and version. Separate the chapter and verse with a colon. A range of verses is marked with an en dash. The version (if applicable) follows the chapter and verse and is put in parentheses. Subsequent notes list only the book, chapter, and verse.

  • CHOOSING a BIBLE TRANSLATION Reading, Studying and Praying
    CHOOSING A BIBLE TRANSLATION Reading, studying and praying through the Bible are an essential part of the Christian faith. The Bible teaches us about who God is; the purpose of human life; and how we should live in relation to God, to other people and to the created world. But more than just a source of information, beliefs, and practices, when we read the Bible with faith it becomes one of the key places where we encounter God. Indeed, when we pray for God’s Spirit to bring the ancient words alive, we are promised an encounter with God’s living Word – Jesus himself. All of this makes choosing which Bible translation to use an important decision. The two main things that go into this decision is how faithful it is to the original Hebrew and Greek Biblical manuscripts (so it will communicate what the Bible really says), and whether it’s easy to understand and enjoyable to read (so that you’ll actually want to read it). Picking a good translation means balancing the two – some translations focus on being as literal as possible (word-for-word), while others focus on taking the ideas spoken in the ancient languages and putting them into easily understandable modern English (thought-for-thought). Below I’ve listed four translations which are among the most common ones used today. NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) The NRSV is a mainly word- for-word translation of the Bible that is the most commonly used translation in university level Biblical studies. One of its distinctive features are the fact that it was translated by a group of scholars that included Protestant, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians, which makes it largely free of bias towards any one Christian tradition.

  • New Jerusalem Version (NJV) Bible Review
    New Jerusalem Version (NJV) The following is a written summary of our full-length video review featuring excerpts, discussions of key issues ​ and texts, and lots of pictures, and is part of our Bible Review series. ​ ​ Do you recommend it? Why? Two thumbs up! The New Jerusalem Version takes first place in our list of recommended Messianic Bibles. Read on to learn why. Who's this Bible best for? The New Jerusalem Version is your best choice if you're looking for a literal translation with some Hebrew names and keywords that's respectful towards Judaism and looks like a real Bible. Would you suggest this as a primary or a secondary Bible? Why? The NJV is ideal as a primary Bible to carry around and read from on a regular basis because it contains the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, is literal enough to be used as a study Bible, and is large enough to be easy on the eyes when reading but not so large as to be clunky. How's this version's relationship with the Jews and Judaism? In short, excellent. The New Jerusalem Version belies a deep familiarity with Jewish customs and sensibilities. For instance, the books of the Hebrew Bible are in the Jewish order rather than how they were later rearranged by Christianity. Similarly, the books are called by both their Hebrew and English names and the chapters and verses follow the Jewish numbering with the alternative Christian numbering in brackets. Personal names and words close to the Jewish heart are also transliterated so as to retain their original resonance.

  • How to Cite the Bible
    How to Cite the Bible APA Style Parenthetical Citations: • For your first citation, identify the version which you used. Example: (John 3:16 New Revised Standard Version) • As part of a sentence: Example: In a sentence: In Psalm 36:1 (New Jerusalem Bible), David... • After this, only include the scripture reference, unless you switch versions. Reference Page: • Well-known books such as the Bible do not need to be included on the reference page, unless a professor requires you to do so. Information taken from Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association , 6th ed., 2009, section 6.18. MLA Style General Guidelines: • Versions of the Bible or individual books are not underlined, italicized, or placed in quotation marks. However, underline or italicize individual published editions of the Bible. Example: The King James Version of the Bible was first published in 1611. Example: The New Oxford Annotated Bible includes maps of the Holy Land. • You do not need to identify the version in subsequent references unless you switch to a different version. Parenthetical References: • Books of the Bible are abbreviated; see the MLA Handbook for common abbreviations. Example: (Phil. 3.8) • A period, not a colon, separates chapter and verse. • When you first refer to a particular version, include the name, a comma, and then the passage. Examples: (New Revised Standard Version, John 3.16) (New Jerusalem Bible , Ezek. 2.6-8) • After this, only include the scripture reference, unless you switch versions.

  • Versions and Translations the Following Outlines Some of the Key
    Versions and Translations The following outlines some of the key characteristics of several Bibles currently in use. A number of the Bible translations most popular in the Western world today can be found in searchable form online (see: http://www.ntgateway.com/bible-translations/). The King James Version (KJV) The translation was planned from 1604 and published in 1611 under the auspices of King James VI of England. This Bible has become one of the most influential English books in modern Western civilization. It served as a unifier of English politics and religious disagreements. The King James Bible uses an economy of words and voices beautiful cadences that have led many to call it elegant. It remains a favorite in many Protestant circles. The Douay-Rheims Bible The first English translation for Roman Catholics was produced in Douay and Rheims in France from 1582-1610. It is based not upon the Hebrew and Greek text but rather the Vulgate, the Latin translation that was the authoritative Bible for the Catholic Church for much of its history. Its close adherence to the Latin makes many passages difficult for contemporary readers to understand, and it has largely fallen into disuse in many Catholic quarters. It is sometimes called the Rheims-Douay Bible. The American Standard Version (ASV) The growing sense that the KJV was based on less-than-ideal manuscripts and philological knowledge led to the British Revised Version in 1885. An American edition, the ASV, came out in 1901 and represented several hundred further emendations to suit its American audience. The ASV is sometimes thought of as by students of biblical languages as a particularly “wooden” translation, and it does in some respects seek to replicate the feel of the original, for example in using “Jehovah” rather than “Lord,” or “Sheol” rather than “grave/Hell.” However, the ASV is also quite euphemistic in places.

  • The Living Bible
    The Living Bible Once upon a time in a far-away land there lived a certain godly man with many little children. His heart yearned to teach his children about Jesus. So he would gather them together every evening to hear him read from the Bible. Then he would ask them ques- tions about what he had read to be sure that they understood. But they did not under- stand. And so the man would explain using words that they easily understood. Then the children would ask, “Why didn’t they just write it like that in the first place?” This set the man on a journey to translate the Bible as a “thought-for-thought” transla- tion that even a child could follow. He did this from copies of the oldest Greek & Hebrew manuscripts that were available, for he knew both languages. His paraphrase transla- tion became known as “The Living Bible”. Once again the Bible came alive to people of yet another generation. The book quickly became very popular and spread to distant lands, even ours here in the USA. The man is Kenneth Taylor of England, but you will not find his name in the book. He is a humble man. He was even humble enough to come speak at the country church that I attended at that time many years ago in Fayette, Maine. So respectful is he of God and God’s Word that some of the last verses of the Bible troubled him; “And I solemnly declare to everyone who reads this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God shall add to him the plagues described in this book.

  • The Living Bible
    The Living Bible By Rev. D. Engelsma The Living Bible of Kenneth Taylor has become a popular, widely used version of the Bible. It appears in many forms: Reach Out; The Greatest is Love; The Way; Living Letters; the Highest Flight; etc. Its appeal is its claim that it presents the Word of God in clear, current understandable language, especially for the young. In fact, however, The Living Bible is an attack on the Word of God, Holy Scripture. It is a loose paraphrase of Scripture, instead of an accurate translation. This paraphrase is corrupted throughout by the private interpretations of the one who did the paraphrasing, so that, although the book claims to be the Bible - the Word of God - it is not the Bible, but a human book, full of man’s words. What is still worse, this version represents a deliberate attempt to destroy certain fundamental doctrines of Scripture. It does this by changing, or eliding, the words of the Bible which teach these doctrines. The Living Bible is an all-out attack on the Reformed faith. It is the “bible” of Arminianism, that false gospel that teaches that man must save himself by his own free will. That these charges are correct is readily shown. The concerned child of God (and what child of God can remain unconcerned about the corrupting of Holy Scripture?) can compare for himself the passages that I will mention in The Living Bible with the correct translation in a reliable version, such as the King James Version. First, The Living Bible does not faithfully give God’s Word in English, but substitutes man’s words.

  • Bible Chart with Grade Levels
    Bible Chart with Grade Levels Preface: I have been meaning to do a chart like this for some time; the problem being is, I don’t really know how to judge reading levels. However, I have thought about subdividing the translations for the exegetical study of each chapter of the Bible and adding in another category of easy-to-read translations. In order to do that, I needed to know which translations were easy-to-read. This resulted in the following chart, culled mostly from elsewhere, with the credit given at the bottom of the chart.
