Bible: New Testament
built 628 days ago
One common misconception is that The Bible is just one book, but this is not true; The Bible is not just one book, but an entire series as stated above. Is is generally accepted that there are two main books in the series, the Old Testament and the New Testament, the latter being the sequel, which, as usual, is not as good as the first in the series. Furthermore, fans of both the New Testament and the Old Testament call themselves "Christians", while fans of strictly the Old Testament call themselves "Jews". On a side note, fans of a similar book series, The Qur'an call themselves "Muslims", and fans of another book series called The Vedas call themselves "Hindus".

The cost of promulgating a new Bible translation often has been steep. Sixteenth-century reformer William Tyndale, for example, was tied to a stake, strangled, and then burned for translating the New Testament and a portion of the Old Testament into English from the original Greek and Hebrew sources. Even the NIV wasn’t greeted warmly at first by evangelicals.

Zondervan couldn't leave well enough alone, apparently, deciding to make its own entry in the gender-corrected Bible sweepstakes that has been going on for at least a generation. It introduced the New Testament portion of TNIV early last year and plans to bring out the Old Testament in 2005.

The New English Translation (NET) Bible is a new translation being done by the Biblical Studies Foundation (which is run by some people of good reputation). The NET is copyrighted, but available on line. In fact, this study Bible was designed to be read with a web browser. Copyrighted, but online at http://www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm
