A bible to read
I asked my friend if he had a NKJ (New King James) bible I could read. He said yes. What he actually meant was no, but I’ll get you one. So, I was presented with a gift boxed NKJ bible (complete with gold edging no less) and two books – “Through the British Museum with the bible” and another (the name of which I forget at the moment).
The bible itself is pretty sweet. It’s got a center column on each page with references to passages, phrases or words on the same page which are either themselves references to other parts of the bible, or simply notes on the translation (sometimes even suggesting that the word used might not be the correct translation).
I intend to read this book cover-to-cover. Although the Old Testemant is pretty hard going at times. There’s lots of stuff I really can’t get to grips with and I’ve made plenty of notes and my own version of heiroglyphics to remind me of the craziness of the people depicted therein.
Stay tuned for guffaws ancient style.
