Re: [luv-talk] Reading the Bible

I read my copy of the KJV, and my copy of the Jewish Publication Society English translation of the Tanakh, and my English translation of the Quran, with respect and appreciation.

Incidentally, at least the T in the TNKh is usually published with the original language on one side, and the local translation on the other, which helps keep the translator honest. I don't know why protestant Bible translators don't use the same approach. (AIUI other Christian sects prefer not to localize the bible at all, because it makes it too easy to fact-check the priests.)
