Vanity Revisited

This is an update on a recent essay.

Let me share another remark I overheard in another bookstore—I spend a lot of time in bookstores.  I share it because it also concerns Bible translations.
Mom was offering her pre-teen daughter a choice of Bibles, the choice being between the King James Version and the New King James Version.  Mom said to the daughter, “This one (KJV) isn’t as pretty.  This one (NKJV) is pink and has easier words; but it may not always say what God wants to say like this one (KJV) does!”

 And so the next generation is educated.
