I have half a dozen different translations of The Critique of Pure Reason and The Symposium. Dan Send a noteboard - 12/01/2012 03:42:01 AM
That's about it. The secondary literature is countless, though. I really spent way too much. I also love Intro/Summary books for Philosophy and all the great philosophers as well, so I have hundreds of those. I always love the little cartoon books.





Studying the history of religion can make these things creep up on you. I was watching "The Simpsons" episode where Bart and Lisa had to stay with Flanders and Flanders asked them which Bible they wanted to use for the Flanders Bible trivia game.

I realized - I have more versions of the Bible than Flanders did in the episode.

I've counted, and I have:

NIV Study Bible
Catholic Study Bible
King James Bible
King James 400th Anniversary Facsimile Edition Bible
German Luther Bible 1545 Facsimile
Russian Bible
Slavonic Bible
Slavonic New Testament
Latin Vulgate
Greek New Testament
Greek Septuagint
Syriac Peshitta
Coptic New Testament
Hebrew Tanakh

Of course, I was primarily interested in historically significant versions of the Bible, but still...I never stopped to ponder it until now.

Why not just get the originals? *NM* Tom - 12/01/2012 05:32:31 AM 286 Views
Probably for the same reason you have so many translations of the Bible. Dan - 12/01/2012 06:47:53 AM 738 Views
You need a bible that has 5 translations side by side Roland00 - 12/01/2012 04:16:25 AM 964 Views

No, I just think that people forget they're reading a translation Tom - 12/01/2012 09:29:41 PM 680 Views
May I ask why you have the NIV rather than the NASB? *NM* Ghavrel - 12/01/2012 09:47:55 AM 331 Views
