The KJV I assume?
I'm coming to appreciate the bible and its evolution. My latest appeciation? The KJV's translation biases (I don't want to say 'errors') makes me want to look at the Torah, which also has it's own evolution (or lack there of).
Any interest in apocrypha?
- HarrisonForest 3y agoOf English translations, yes the KJV. But I'm Serbian, so I primarily read Serbian translations, or a bilingual Bible, side by side KJV and Daničić-Karadžić translation. As for the translation biases, that's kind of a separate topic, and comparing translations is very interesting for me personally, I enjoy using that AndBible software. Apocrypha too has interesting stories which influenced art, literature, etc. etc. etc. Definitely worth reading. A side note, since you mention the biases, I think you might enjoy the book development of the New Testament canon, I don't remember the author or the exact book title, sorry about that. I find it fascinating that the only books of the Bible whose author is confirmed are seven pauline epistles (perhaps three more, I think yes, but I'm a layman). I could go on, but I have to stop somewhere.
