“The Bible is a special revelation from God to man of truths concerning himself, his purposes, his plans, his will, man and his sinful nature, and the redemptive plan of God for man. » This quote from Gene Nowlin, in his book The Paraphrased Perversion of the Bible, summarizes the composition of the Bible.

To do this, they must carefully study the Bible and apply it daily in their lives. Without the proper Bible, this can become a difficult task to accomplish.

(KJV), Revised Standard Version (RSV), New International Version (NIV), American Standard Version (ASV), New Living Translation (NLT), and New English Bible (NEB) (24). Other versions include even newer translations such as the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), the New American Standard Version (NASB), the New Today International Version (TNIV), and the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB ).
