What Bible do you like?
by Tristram in
1. watchtower
2. bible
having read nothing but the nwt all my life, i am interested in getting a couple other translations to see their interpretations of the scriptures.

i really don't have any idea where to start.

i have heard the niv has a distinctly "conservative evangelical" bent which doesn't really interest me, but what translations have you used that you like?
