I am an atheist. The title was a effort to draw more attention. Anyways I want to study the bible. Which is the best book of bible out of all available on https://www.amazon.in/

?

I have to read quraan as well, any muslim or for that matter any one who has read/studied the koran should help me read the word of the prophet by suggesting the best copy of quran.

I like the Gideon's version. Yet to say there is a best version, idk, if you take the basic teachings from it, like good will, charity and such.

That doesn't matter if you have time to spare reading, you should read religious texts too. Firstly, if you find yourself in any discussion of religion, you can be better equiped. And though religion is mostly faith, it has much thinkning to offer. Religion was the philosophy of olden days. Religious texts have to offer a lot of info. Plus it can supplement fictional reading(for admit it, religion is fiction).

Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.

Idk about the Bible but I am confident a Quran in Indonesia is the same Quran in Algeria since the Quran can’t be changed or something

But there are mamy copies of them. And i cant read arabic or indonesian languages. So i want an authentic english translation

Ah I understand, the issue here is the translation. Well I am not Muslim myself so I can’t say much about this

Yeah. Distortions of the text are well dangerous

Why does an asterisk necessarily mean offense? Bible is **** can mean bible is nice or good too! It Doesnt necessarily mean sex right? Anywayas its sole objective is to gather info about bible and quraan and if people will curse each other i am not to be held responsible nor should the thread be closed.

Exactly and a friend of mine told me that the Quran focuses a lot on its poetry (can you call it that way?). It’s kinda like a big collection of poems and in poetry meanings of words change depending on the context a lot as far as I know.
Your question his justified but I have no answer.

Yeah,not only religious but all texts suffer this.

What inspired me are songs of ustaad nusrat fateh ali khan.

E.g. https://open.spotify.com/track/2hGJkkAaI7GsfktrIhz8yg

Not that they are religious, but the beautiful urdu words have left a magic on me.

Truly a shame. Some people resort to learning the language of the text that they want to read instead of taking a translation, which I wouldn’t say is easy but you’d definitely get the material in its raw form.

Yeah but you can interpret it correctly after studying the language for about 7 or 8 years or so
