[Desiderato Chouinard]

TheKJV, NKJV, NASB, and ESV versions are well suited for serious study since they are literal translations. The NIV and NLT are better suited to general reading than serious study. Since they are thought-for-truth translations they will not have the higher level of accuracy that literal translations do.

There is another type of Bible available: the paraphrase. Paraphrases include The Message and TLB. A paraphrase is when someone rewrites a text in their own words. Paraphrases should not be considered the Word of God and should be avoided.

For reading, choose something you can enjoy reading that is as accurate as possible. NIV and NLT are good choices, but I still prefer a more literal translation even for reading. I read the KJV, NKJV, and ESV. I also occasionally read the NIV.

For study, choose the most literal you can feel comfortable with. I use KJV primarily. I also use NKJV and ESV. Many consider the ESV a more accurate rendering. I am simply more comfortable with King James.

The cover should be leather or hardcover. Bonded leather is OK, but do not expect it to last even if the Bible is kept in a Bible case. Bonded leather is a very cheap material and will not hold up to heavy use. The higher-end materials are not a requirement for a quality Bible, but the higher the quality of the cover the longer it will last. Even calfskin will last for many years. Other choices are goatskin and Morocco leather. A good quality hardcover will also last many years and is far less expensive than leather. Many of my Bibles are hardcover.

A good reading Bible is a Bible that has a readable text and some basic features such as references, maps, and concordance. A reading Bible can be used in Bible study. Just look for a good-quality Bible with good text, good paper, and a little room for writing.

I recommend a wide-margin Bible. Ideally, it will have plenty of good quality paper for writing and really wide margins. Other helps are nice, but most tools, such as concordances and dictionaries, can be purchased separately.

Hi Gary. Thank you for your comments. I agree that the NIV is not purely a thought-for-thought translation. I see it more as a combination of the two types, placing it in the middle. As far as study Bibles, I do use them and recommend them. I just try to get readers to be cautious because some have a tendency to accept the notes as fact without question simply because they are printed in their Bibles. I will try to be more thorough and explain that a little more in future articles.

Randy, Thanks for this excellent advice on Study Bibles! Might I be permitted to incorporate it (with full acknowledgement to you, and reference to this website), in my forthcoming seminar on Study Bibles?

At present, I have some reservations about Study Bibles! The comments are far too brief, sometimes needlessly biased, and not always picking up important points that need to be aired. Like you, I prefer Study Bibles that include more or less everything other than the commentary!

Personally, for commentary, I think we are better served by having alongside our Bible, when we engage in serious study, a one-volume Bible Commentary. Would reviewing of such commentaries be outside the scope of yourvremit?

The Septuagint is an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. It was a key factor in readability as Greek had become the common language by the time of Christ. At Blue Letter Bible, we have offered the Septuagint (LXX) for many years, which is regarded as the most credible Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Now, we are pleased to offer Brenton's English Septuagint (BES), an English translation of the Greek Septuagint.

At BLB, we recognize the usefulness of studying God's Word using the Greek Septuagint, especially in instances where a New Testament writer references the Greek Septuagint translation. Thus, the BES translation is just one more of the in-depth Septuagint tools that we offer. While checking out the BES, be sure to open up the Tools button, and take a look at the Septuagint tab with each Greek word and parsing.

We have been blessed by a wonderful partnership with Kress Biblical Resources for several years. Previously, we have offered their Road Maps for the New Testament Epistles and Revelation. Now, we are very excited to provide the Road Maps for the Gospel of John.

The Gospel of John is one of the richest collections of the words and life of Christ in Scripture. It contains many unique dialogues with Christ and His disciples that are beautifully deep. This is all working towards the two-fold aim as outlined in the "Introductory Matters": (1) "to call for and cultivate genuine trust in Christ as Son of God and the Source of eternal life" and (2) "to reveal the glory of Jesus Christ as God incarnate and point to Him as the only Source of divine light and life."

We believe that this work provides a useful aid in helping you better understand God's intended truth as you walk through the Gospel of John, and we wish to thank our partners at Kress Biblical Resources for their continued partnership.

Making God's Word available in as many languages as possible has been a key focus of Christians for centuries and is likewise a key focus of our mission and vision at Blue Letter Bible. For many years, we have offered several public domain Bible versions on the mobile apps that were not available on the website. We have been working diligently to bring these to the site, and are excited to announce the addition of these eight versions to our website:

It is always a tremendous blessing to add new languages to our library of tools and resources. Our call as Christians is to bring the gospel and God's Word to all nations of the world (Matthew 28:19-20). We are purposeful in what versions we offer on BLB, desiring to provide our readers with sound translations that faithfully represent the original languages.
