A BIBLE OF OUR OWN

A BIBLE OF OUR OWN It is time to have a Mormon Bible, one produced by Mormons for Mormons. It would have helpful study and interpretive features, including best original language mss, paragraph layout, versification, poetic form, footnotes, cross-references, textual variants, modern language, pronunciation guide. It would lead to a more precise and deeper understanding of principles and doctrines and allow diverse interpretations. It would be the Mormon contribution to better understanding the traditional Bible. All major religions in our day have produced a modern version of the Bible. I believe it is time for the Mormons to do the same.
