I am considering acquiring a Third Millennium Bible. Does anyone here use one, and if so, I would be most anxious to hear your comments on it.

Thanks

I like it a lot. It's the Authorised [King James] Version (with the Deuterocanonical Books) with only the misleading archaisms removed, i.e. 'conversation' is now 'conduct', 'let' is now 'prevent', 'prevent' is now 'go before', etc. The sentence structure, the understandable archaisms, are all left as in the Authorised Version.

Thanks! What is the story of the Bible? Why was it commissioned? Have they considered an Orthodox version (3-4Mac, Psalm 151)?

I think that traditional Anglicans may be behind it. There probably won't be an edition with the three extra Orthodox Books because it is a slight revision of the Authorised Version, which did not contain them in the first place.

However it is too bad that those book so that the majority of Christians would have one common Bible.
Just my opinon.
