The collection in the New-World Translation (the Watchtower > Bible) is great (just like their translation) as long as it isn't about > the divinity of Jesus or other things they don't like. > > Biep. You really caught my attention when you mentioned the New World Translation which is the "official" bible of the Watchtower Bible Society (a.k.a Jehovah's Witnesses). I understand your interest in their topical cross-reference in the back of this book, but I must disagree completely that the translation is great - it is mostly a corrupted version of the KJV, and is devoid of integrity with respect to the accepted Greek manuscripts. The Greek "scholarship" is just not there, so I admonish you to be very, very careful in using this translation as a vehicle for understanding what the Bible is saying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary K.
