2. One day suddenly say you want to read a bible.
3. ???
4. Free bible. -
suntec... the rock... new creation church.. there is a store tt sell bibles
-
can try Singapore Bible House (think have the most different version I know of)
if another other more common version like NIV, KJV ..etc can go any bookshop (Popular, Borders ...etc also can)
actually, I think I saw this NRSV (Collins) once at Sun Plaza at those tables selling 2nd hand books. -
The Bible at the Rock Bookshop, very limited (in my opinion), there is also Life Bookshop at Suntec which is better.Originally posted by DarkDestiny:suntec... the rock... new creation church.. there is a store tt sell bibles -
The normal NRSV is quite rare in Singapore. Study Bible even worse.Originally posted by skyodise:Hi,

I bought the normal NRSV at Tecman, the ecumenical version at Borders.
I suppose you can try Borders? Don't bother trying those normal bookshops like Mount Zion, they won't have it. -
Tecman should have the best price.Originally posted by skyodise:Hi,

wow.. few minutes so many reply.. what a lively forum
thanks guys.
So is Tecman a bookshop name in Bras Brasah Complex? sorry I'm not so familiar.
I'm looking for NRSV since I heard it has a non-bias and good literal translation and a respectable among scholar (believer and non-believer). Some more in study bible/annotated version, before every book it include some fact and historical point of view. -
http://www.tecman.com.sg/
They seem to have a lot of books (search for NRSV), but I think they never display in shop one. -

You are right. NRSV is quite respected among the scholars, better than NIV and KJV. Of course nothing beats reading the bible in their original languages.
NRSV is the only bible translation with the ecumenical version. If possible try to get this version. -
few days ago I went .. think they shifted or expand liao. Now 2nd or 3rd floor at the right side of the escalator.Originally posted by laoda99:Yes Tecman is a bookshop name in Bras Brasah.

OK, I will check Tecman at bras basah complex. Seems got may recommendation.
thanks for the info.
So this Tecman, does it also carry some Christian critics books? Something like Bart Ehrman's 'Misquoting Jesus' etc.
I mean which Christian bookshops here to find these kind of books?
or my best chance to get this kind of book in Singapore is only at kino or borders. -
Go Kino. I think they have 20 percent discount now.Originally posted by skyodise:OK, I will check Tecman at bras basah complex. Seems got may recommendation.

If you want muslim point of view about Christianity, can visit mustafa book shop.
One thing to add. Be careful when u read such books. U may want to go for bible study at the same time to balance up. -
No, I rather get Christian Critics books from Christian scholar, that way is more objective IMOOriginally posted by laoda99:If you want muslim point of view about Christianity, can visit mustafa book shop. -
Actually, the author u quoted of that book misquoting Jesus is not very much different from other scholars.Originally posted by skyodise:No, I rather get Christian Critics books from Christian scholar, that way is more objective IMO
They are "Christian" scholars. Like misquoting Jesus's one, he is an atheist.
Another prominent "Christian" scholar is Elaine Pagels. But she is pro-gnosticism.
Many can call themselves "New Testament Scholars". But they are not really Christian. Anyone can study theology in the States. -
In anycase you go have a look at those shops others have put in here.

Sorry, maybe I use a wrong term, maybe textual criticism is better term instead of Cristian critics. Coz I saw many of my Christian friends still read the Bible literally and belief that bible is inerrant.

I am a skeptic too.Originally posted by skyodise:Sorry, maybe I use a wrong term, maybe textual criticism is better term instead of Cristian critics. Coz I saw many of my Christian friends still read the Bible literally and belief that bible is inerrant.
A lot of things I cannot recouncil with, but I do hold the belief what the bible wrote about Jesus is inerrant: Salvation is only through our Lord Jesus Christ who redeemed us from our sins.
In this way, when u read any book on textual cirticism, u can still have something to focus on and not lose ur faith. -
Yes Bart Ehrman is Agnostic but he is not Atheist(yet). But at least he used to be ChristianOriginally posted by laoda99:Actually, the author u quoted of that book misquoting Jesus is not very much different from other scholars.

Oh sorry yes...he claimed to be AgnosticOriginally posted by skyodise:Yes Bart Ehrman is Agnostic but he is not Atheist(yet). But at least he used to be Christian
And Elaine Pagels claimed to be Catholic I think.... -
I just believe that not everything written in the bible should be take literally coz some of it is actually a traditional mythology or metaphor that the purpose is to send a moral message not to tell a history.Originally posted by laoda99:I am a skeptic too.

Buy a bible commentary. Can help u to understand the background of the different books easier.Originally posted by skyodise:I just believe that not everything written in the bible should be take literally coz some of it is actually a traditional mythology or metaphor that the purpose is to send a moral message not to tell a history. -
This balding scholar is my ou xiang!Originally posted by skyodise:Yes Bart Ehrman is Agnostic but he is not Atheist(yet). But at least he used to be Christian
