What Bible version should I use? I know the Orthodox Church officially uses only the original Greek, but what about for those who don't speak Greek? I know there are Orthodox study Bibles and Orthodox New Testaments, but there is no Orthodox bookstore in my town (just a Catholic one) so I can't get any. I have a Douay-Rheims Bible. This is a Catholic translation of the Bible, translated directly from the Latin Vulgate, and I've been told that it is the best English translation around. I also have a King James Bible around somewhere. The King James is a Protestant translation (but it's what our Church uses for Psalms 104 and 140 at Vespers) and I've been told it contains over 400 errors. I also have a Catholic Youth Bible, which is NRSV, and a Westminster New Testament.
Which of these should I use? Which is the most Orthodox?
