New, Cleaner Bible
The International Bible Society has introduced its newest Bible featuring no features whatsoever!
chapter and verse numbers are removed from the text (a chapter-and-verse range is at the bottom of each page)
individual books are presented with the literary divisions that their authors have indicated
footnotes, section headings and other supplementary materials have been removed from the text (translators’ notes are available at the back of each book)
the books of the Bible have been placed in an order that provides more help in understanding, based on literary genre, historical circumstance and theological tradition
single books that later translations or tradition divided into two or more books are made whole again (example: Luke-Acts)
single-column setting that clearly and naturally presents the literary forms of the Bible’s books
The idea is to simplify the Bible from all the human additions over the years so you can read it for what it says apart from all human interpretation. Sounds like a fine idea. You could get one for me for my birthday if ya wanted.
