Bible Versions

"I still use NRSV as the standard or default translation for serious Bible study. But I also encourage students to consult other translations, including NIV, the Inclusive Bible, Robert Alter (OT only), Lattimore (NT only), First Nations Version (NT only), Sarah Ruden (Gospels only)."

--Paul Keim, PhD
