Third Millennium Bible (NAV)

[gorion]

This is supposedly a simple updating of the obscure words of the KJV and also including most of the deuterocanonicals.

Has anyone read this version and have any thoughts they could share on it?

I bought it as a download for my PDA. IMHO it is the version with the most complete Deutrocanonicals available and is faithful to the 1611 KJV text. I like it!

What advantage does it have over the RSV?

Actually this is the bible I have. I actually won it for getting second place in our church's sunday school oratorical festival. Basically some of the words are changed around to be a little more modern, so it's a bit of an easier read.

Wow this is not a very popular version I assume. Thanks to those who had input. I'm getting a copy from Amazon so I guess I'll figure it out.

I wouldn't say it's unpopular, just that it's not all that well known. As I said before, I think it's a very good bible, especially that they have most of our deutrocanonical books.
