That will probably keep my Geneva Bible, Patriots edition value continuing up...
I bought mine used for $28 just over a year ago and then went to find one for my mom in October for her birthday and they were $125... Just looked last night and they are going for $150 to 250 on ebay and these are all used bibles.
It has our constitution and other historical founding documents included as well as George Washington’s prayer.

Zondervan ought to get out of the Bible business entirely. They have been behind some questionable editions.

Uh huh... these same “Christians” who profess that homosexuality and adultery and sexual sin and even lying are a-ok in God’s eyes attack actual history because it offends their “progressive” sensibilities.

BS.

These people are apostates.

Zondervan and HarperCollins will not publish or manufacture a version of the Bible that would feature various patriotic American documents for the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, contrary to concerns expressed online.

Appalling idea.

“This is a toxic mix that will exacerbate the challenges to American evangelicalism, adding fuel to the Christian nationalism and anti-Muslim sentiments found in many segments of the evangelical church.”

“This is not the first time there has been an attempt to fuse American nationalism with the holy book — in fact Thomas Nelson released ‘The American Patriot’s Bible’ over a decade ago, which was a very similar project,” they wrote. “But what is new is a growing awareness of how dangerous nationalism is when coupled with faith," they added. "After all, the Bible does not say ‘God bless America.’ It says, ‘God so loved the world.’”

The above seems to be the crux of the controversy surrounding this Bible addition, but somehow up to this point no one on this thread seems to have picked up on it or commented on it.

Progressive evangelical Pastor Doug Pagitt sounds like a Marxist in clerical garments. You can’t be a “progressive” and be a solid Christian (I’m Jewish by the way) because as David Horowitz writes, “A Progressive just an authoritarian trying to get out” or something close to that quote.

That “authoritanian” is a “Marxist” or “Liberation Theology Marxist”. Now you are getting “Critical Race Theory” Marxist promoters/practicionners who are substituting “teaching racial division and preclusion” instead of “racial understanding and tolerance”.

These “progressive” Christians are nothing but ‘Red Wolves in Sheeps’ Clothing’ and certainly not promoting the call of Jesus for unity under God.

“Progressives” hate and that is not being a good Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, or Buddhist.

The initial report about the possibility of the God Bless the USA Bible being released prompted backlash online, including a petition backed by more than 900 signatories.

Wow, "more than 900" whole signatories - that's gotta be like most of the Christians in the world! /s

Decided to see if Zondervan publishes any other Bibles that might be considered "nationalistic" or related to any particular ethnic groups. Here's one that I found:

Our Heritage and Faith Holy Bible for African-American Teens in the New International Version helps teens understand their heritage and enables them to identify and interact with Scripture. Focusing on the traditions of the African-American church, the 106 pages of articles and essays help teens come to know the roots of their lives, their forms of worship, and their faith in God. Photos and illustrations are included on tip-in pages to enhance the teen’s experience of learning about their heritage.

Link at https://www.christianbook.com/heritage-african-american-teens-niv-ebook/9780310410898/pd/3091EB?event=ESRCG

I did not find any reference to this as a "controversial" edition of the Bible.

I have a Bible that has a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution at the back. I haven’t died yet.

For a plain simple bible try these without all the “bells and whistles” to make sales. These are extremely high quality bibles.
