Bibles
I’m enjoying my NIV Journaling Bible.
For study Bibles I recommend
- The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha
- HarperCollins Study Bible
- The Jewish Study Bible
- The Jewish Annotated New Testament
Again, here’s a link to the Bible translations approved by The Episcopal Church.
Helpful Books
And God Spoke by Christopher Bryan has a succinct way of expressing how we Anglicans approach the Holy Scriptures. I refer to this little book often as a reminder of the significance of our sacred story and why engaging with the Word is so important.
Bible Women: All their words and why they matter by Lindsay Hardin Freeman provides a fabulous resource/catalog of the female characters in the Bible. Prepare to be fascinated by how much/how little women speak in both the Old and New Testaments.
A Theological Introduction to the Old Testament: 2nd edition is what it sounds like, a fabulous resource for a theological understanding of the Old Testament for Christian readers.
