Professor wants all to read one Bible

Navarre

[LS]

I, for one, think God can bring the true word out of a little competition. Jesus never had any problem with other so-called "prophets" competing against Him, because He knew His message was the right one.

The more translations, the better.

[Knute]

The ESV is a very good word for word translation, versus a dynamic equivalent or a paraphrase. We are using it in our church. BUT, the "one Bible for all" smacks of the legalism of the King James only group. Most people I associate with are utilizing several translations for their personal study. I regularly refer to 7. (English Standard Version, King James Version, New King James Version, New International Version, New Living Translation, Amplified Bible and The Message)
I disagree totally with Professor Jacobs determination to make it the "exclusive" English one size fits all Bible

The Navarre is great! I have a few of the Gospels, but need to buy the rest. Not very portable, though :-) I have the New Jerusalem Bible too, it has very traditional language. I bought it from EWTN.
