Other than the Bible?
- Thread starter Leveller
- Start date
For this follower of the teachings of Jesus (not Christian by many Christian standards) I require a couple of parallel bibles to get multiple versions and more insight to any scripture in the Bible. And while there are a number of books I am looking at on my Christian shelves about or by Merton, Assisi etc these are the ones I most often pull off the shelves to relook, refresh or show someone.

The spong book I have gotten Bible book clubs to read and discuss, has been quite interesting. The first book there is from not long after our Civil War, the book from thay, Jesus n Bhudda reunited as brothers, quite the eye opener for me. Rocco Errico is an Aramaic scholar who studied under George Lamsa who published this about a century ago https://www.christianbook.com/holy-...aiwDaGfSvsYDwXrP28Nt29SDEb3tm47AaAjTKEALw_wcB
Which is one of the versions I refer to when I look at a verse of scripture My favorite to book by Errico tho is on the Aramaic Lord's prayer, "setting a trap for G!d" I tend to get it off the shelf a couple times a year.

I can see that Spong would be a great writer for discussion. I know that some of his books got him hate mail and death threats.
I have read other books by Thich Nhat Hanh and have liked him very much. I was very saddened by the deaths of both.

You may possibly be right, although a quick google of "the bible" does not support your claim. However, as my post was made in the 'Christian' section, I feel that no further details were required nor do I feel that your objection is justified.

Same silly argument is used by Canadians about the word America.
Yes, Jess call their Bible a Bible too
What is your Bible Amir? And why does this get your panties twisted?
