ADDITIONAL MATERIALS NEEDED

You will need a good translation of the Bible. The examples used in the lessons are from the King James version (KJV). Other versions which are quite good with more modern wording include the Open English Bible (OEB), the World English Bible (WEB), The American Standard Version (ASV), the English Standard Version (ESV), and The New King James Version (NKJV).

Some English Bibles are paraphrases rather than translations and should be avoided for serious study. These include The Living Bible, The Good News Bible, and The Message. See the discussion of translations and paraphrases in the Creative Bible Study course.
