Theology Rocks Show 066 - "What's in Your Bible?"

Sometimes we get confused between our Bible (KJV, NIV, NASB, NLT, NET, ASV, ad infinitum). Our point is that none of those are The Bible. Throw in The Message, the Living Bible and company, and you're compounding translation problems with paraphrase. Toss in some presuppositions, some flawed teaching and a pinch (or more) of pride, and you get problems aplenty.

Our point is, "there's more to the Bible than your translation."

There are a whole mess of great tools online that we didn't even mention in the podcast:
BibleGateway.com - 20 versions of the Bible in English along with other languages, some commentaries, some audio readings, and a host of other resources.
BlueLetterBible.com - 14 version of the Bible (including the Latin Vulgate), a "Treasury of Scripture Knowledge" (extensive cross-referencing), Lexicon/Concordance for Hebrew and Greek, commentaries (not only text, but also audio, video and study tools), maps, hymns, images, and dictionary aids. This is probably one of the most underrated study tools on the net.
Bible.org - Home of the NET Bible (New English Translation), but also filled with tools, commentaries, devotionals, etc.
International Bible Society (Writers of the New International Version) with a host of useful tools. I really appreciate their Book Introductions from the NIV Study Bible among other things.
