![]() Frankly, I have almost no idea what it is (no one needs to make a post to tell me, but thank you), except that you can hear things from it! And, I've seen a pic or two on Amazon's website. I hear people talk about it in good terms, so it must be a good thing. Some of them have been transcribed electronically, but the transcribers don't usually bother to include the translation notes (the Revised Version of 1885 and Thomson's Septuagint, for example). In addition to all of these, there are a number of translations from the late 1800s and early 1900s that can be found as scans at Google Books. New English Bible ( not the New English Translation) Important translations that aren't available as ebooks: World English Bible (some guy's rendering of the ASV into more modern English) ![]() ![]() Recovery Version (Living Stream Ministry)Ĭommentary on the Torah (Richard Elliott Friedman’s translation and commentary of the Pentateuch) Jubilee Bible (an English translation of a Spanish translation by some missionary) The Five Books of Moses (Pentateuch translation and commentary by Robert Alter) The word on the street (strange, but interesting "street style" paraphrase) The Action Bible (graphic novel style Bible) Hebraic Roots Bible (from the “Congregation of Yahweh”)Ī New New Testament (Hal Taussig and John Dominic Crossan)Ĭomplete Jewish Bible (translated by some guy trying to convert Jews to Christianity) Revised Common Version (based on Noah Webster’s “Common Version”) The Clear Word (a paraphrase by a Seventh Day Adventist pastor) Translations by a single author or ministry, but that fit a reasonable definition of having been "published": New Cambridge Paragraph Bible (scholarly 2005 update of the KJV) New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS, a scholarly translation based on the NRSV) New Living Translation (Tyndale House Publishing) New World Translation (Jehovah's Witnesses 19) Orthodox Study Bible (Thomas Nelson’s Septuagint translation)Ĭommon English Bible (Protestant and Catholic editions) New International Reader’s Version (NIrV, a simplified English version for kids and non-native English readers)Įnglish Standard Version (Crossway Publishing) In addition, I can think of a few more off the top of my head that aren't in either list, so we're up in the mid-to-high seventies. Using their rules, I just counted the different Bible translations that I have in Calibre and came up with 46, of which 22 don't overlap with YouVersion. I didn't know that there were that many English versions of the Bible, even going back to Tyndale and Coverdale and those guys.The current YouVersion list lists 50 English translations, though they list minor revisions (Catholic/Protestant, US/UK English) as separate versions. If you know what I mean by an "early adopter," well I'm just the opposite. ![]() One or two of them, at least, are MP3, though, so that eliminates a lot of the shuffling of CD's. I really like the narrations, but I hate messing with CD's. I have three, I think that it is, sets of CD's of the New Testament or the whole Bible (again NASB-one of them may be the original NASB), that I bought prior to the proliferation of online narrations. I guess that I'm asking a lot from a narration that is, after all, free. I have been using Bible Gateway for listening to the Bible (NASB95), but I haven't been altogether pleased with the narration. e.g : "Alexa have the Bible app read John chapter 3."Thanks for the additional info. It is read by a person though instead of Alexa. Also for Alexa users you can have the Bible app read chapters of the Bible to you, but you don't get to choose which version it reads from. They have KJV, NIV, NASB and a few others in professionally read audio. I like the Bible app and use the audio Bible the most. Of course you can only use them within the app and some publishers ask for your email when you download their Bible version. Youversion Bible app still allows you to download many of their Bibles. ![]()
