I'm glad someone brought this up. Without arguing the divine inspiration or lack thereof, the Bible is a profound book that repays scrutiny. The trouble is, so few have actually read it.

For ordinary reading, I like the New International Version. I also find the Pe****ta readable and interesting. For study, I have to have all of them. I also find the 3-volume commentary by Jamison, Fausset & Brown, and the 2-volume commentary by the atheist Isaac Asimov very useful.
