I wore-out my NIV bible when I was young but now I prefer the New Revised Standard Version. The language of the NIV strikes me as a little flat, now. Still, I give the NIV lots of credit -- has any translation since the KJV has been so meaningful to so many people? ( )

A flat, fictional work, describing the lives of neanderthals who believed they met Jesus, the supposed "sun of god." This book is full of lies, fallacies, and contradictions. The characters are flat and one-dimensional. This book also contains myriad murder, violence, and violence-based laws that have no place in a civilized society. ( )

The Bible does not really need a review. This particular edition has a good centre reference section. ( )

I never thought I'd say this, but the Bible is a great read. Most of the stories are very exciting, there is always a moral or a theme, and the magic and history are wonderfully painted so that I can imagine I am there, standing beside the many characters as they (and their religion) shape the world we have today. If you haven't already, pick it up sometime! ( )

This book is about how god created the world and how man fell. It also tells how independent man has tried to be and how God has either corrected him or punished him. This book is by far the best book anyone could read and I like reading it because it is my religion.

In the beginning of the bible it tells how God created the world in seven days. At first he separated the waters from the heavens. Then he creates light and darkness, land, creatures and then he wants to create man in his own image so he makes Adam. Then he realized that man needed a partner so he creates eve. When eve sinned and encouraged her husband to do the same thing they were both cursed.

People kept on reproducing and because Adam and eve sinned so did everyone else. But it got so bad that God kept the most holy man and his family which was Noah. God told Noah that he was going to bring a flood and wipe out all creatures and man except for him, his family and two animals of each kind male and female. God brought a flood. It rained for forty days and forty nights. After the flood God said that he would not bring another flood that would wipe out the entire earth again and he made this promise by putting a rainbow in the sky. ( )
