Letters from Our Readers
Which Bible version?
Can you suggest a Bible more easily understood for Bible-study purposes than the King James Version, which I find difficult to follow and understand in many parts?
D.S., County Antrim, Northern Ireland
We suggest the New King James Version, which retains the literary flavor of the King James translation of 1611 but in modern English. We use the NKJV for biblical quotations in The Good News and our booklets and Bible Study Course. We also suggest that you request our free booklet How to Understand the Bible and refer to pages 12-15. This section discusses Bible translations and offers principles to apply in using and consulting various versions.
Cohabiting generation
Please let me tell you what a wonderful magazine you have. Your article "The Cohabitation Generation" answered a lot of my questions. I'm 23 and have often wondered if living with a person was wrong in God's eyes.
A.M., Eustis, Florida
Pro and con about the rapture
I don't often write to a magazine unless I am impressed, favorably or unfavorably. Your March-April issue was of particular interest. I applaud you for printing the truth. "What's 'Left Behind' in the Rapture Theory?" and "The Good Friday-Easter Sunday Question" were of great importance.
