Bibles (with Jay Mills)

Doth Protest

The NIV, the RSV, the KJV? The Women's Bible, the Student's Bible, the Athlete's Bible, the Construction Worker's Bible? There's all kinds of Bibles out there, and where to start?
Former guest of the pod the Rev. Jay Mills joins Andrew and James today. They each discuss the translations and editions of the Bible that they prefer, both for their own reading and for recommendation for others. Note* all the Bibles we are discussing are English language translations.
Shownotes:
-Jay discusses some of his qualms he has with the SBL Study Bible
-Andrew referred to this graph that plots the different Bible translations in regard to what kind of translation. (And like James points out, the graph is not perfect)
-Though Andrew overall likes the NRSV translation, here is a link that he referenced that explains some of its issues.
