Should I get my girlfriend a King James Bible or something I think is easier to read/study?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) June 30th, 2019

My GF was raised to believe that the King James Bible is basically the supreme and final translation of the Bible

I respect the KJB for a number of reasons, but for reading and following and studying, there are translations easier to comprehend.

I myself prefer the English Bible for its depth, and the New Revised Standard version for its inclusive and gender-neutral spirit. But for a conservative Christian just wanting to read and study, I’d go with the New King James or the New International Version

If I get her a Bible or arrange for someone else to, should I go with what SHE wants or get something that would probably be a more accurate translation, since language has progressed so much since King James times?
