Some people like to get what’s called a Study Bible. Tip: Some of the less expensive Bibles have really thin pages and the letters on the other side bleed through making it difficult to read. If you’re looking for a version that’s easier to read, I recommend getting the NLT translation (Link to Amazon). It has a few basic tools to help, but not so many things that it distracts from the text of the Bible itself. If this is your first Bible, look for a solid, no-frills one like the ESV Personal Reference Bible (link to Amazon – opens in a new window). Stick with a modern translation like the ESV if you can. Tip: A widely distributed translation is the King James Version, but most people find that its 17th Century English is difficult to understand. If they have one, you can go with that one. Some churches and Bible Studies have a translation that they recommend. Look for a relatively modern translation of the Bible that’s easy to understand, like the ESV (English Standard Version).
#Where to get a bible full
I was shocked to see an entire wall full of shelves with 100s of different types of Bibles to choose from! I remember going to the bookstore years ago to purchase my first Bible. Since the Bible was originally written in mostly Hebrew and Greek, you’ll want to get an English translation.
Sometimes, it’s called the Gospel of Mark or the Gospel According to Mark.
If you’re looking for a good place in the Bible to start reading, I recommend the book of Mark, which is the 2nd book in the New Testament. Here are 5 steps covering all the basics from choosing a Bible, to where to start reading, with several tips and resources for those who are new to the Bible.
If you’re just beginning to explore Christianity or reading the Bible for the first time, it can be confusing to know where to start.
