The Bible in Cockney: Well bits of it anyway

Product Information

This one got the seal of approval of Rowan Williams's predecessor George Carey, who grew up in London's East End, so must have known what he was rabbit and porking about. At first the Bible was a collection of scrolls, then illustrated handwritten volumes. When printing was invented they were produced in Latin with pictures. Later they were published in plain closely printed text, in the common language, to get them into as many people's hands as cheaply as possible." Bible Reading Fellowship 2023. Bible Reading Fellowship is a charity (233280) and company limited by guarantee (301324), registered in England and Wales. The publicity for me was just all great fun, and the kids loved it as well, with lessons being filmed, children being interviewed... and then the book was finally published there was even more publicity. I remember being well looked after by Karen Laister from BRF. As I say, I just found the whole time such fun. I'm from Turkey. I wish they would do the same for the Koran, make it more friendly and easy to read with lots of photos.

"You have to understand that what we think of as the traditional serious-looking leather-bound Bible is actually a relatively new format. In the Middle Ages, picture books - with people in contemporary dress - were the way most people read the Bible. Well, there's a planetful of literature out there debunking the Bible, so why not have the other side of the story set out in a contemporary and "hip" way? Next thing might be adverts on the sides of buses! Many Christians across the Middle East are silenced because they follow Jesus. They can't always celebrate His birth freely and openly like we can.Book of Esther• Book of Ezra• Book of Judges• Book of Ruth• Books of Chronicles• Books of Kings• Books of Samuel• Book of Joshua• If it gets the good news out to people, and those people give their lives to Christ, then I am all for it. Those that believed are command to preach the gospel to all of creation, and I am sure God allows them to use their creativity to do so.

This less-than-reverent online version by Brendan Powell Smith tells stories from the Bible using Lego. It started life in 2001 with stories from Genesis and today contains 391 stories with 4,214 illustrations. Though it is sometimes satirical or tongue-in-cheek, it is often used by churches and Sunday schools, and it's one of the versions that the Bible Society has welcomed as connecting people with the Bible in a new way. Epistle of Jude• Epistle of James• Epistle to the Hebrews• First Epistle of John• First Epistle of Peter• Second Epistle of John• Second Epistle of Peter• Third Epistle of John• So they left all the people, and the disciples got into the nanny and set orf. There were quite a few other nannies there too. So, ironically, Soederberg's attempt to popularise the Bible by getting away from its traditional format is exactly what the people who created that format were doing. What he sees in the Bible is a profitable chance for people to look again at their world. "We are all affected by it," he says. "Morals are based on it, rightly or wrongly, government, laws. I'm saying to people: this is your history, read it.The Bible is such a lively book! Of course there is nothing wrong with 'translating' the Bible for different sub-cultures... this is after all what Christians have always done. It is just now we can add a glossy finish :o) No matter how you present it in the end and to who the message is still the same and will never change; its always relevant!

Jesus then said to his chinas, “What is it with you lot? Why were you all so frightened? Do you still not have faith?”

And then, would you Adam and Eve it, a huge wind started to blow up, and the waves got so bloomin’ big that they began to spill into the nanny. It got to the stage where the nanny was almost gonna fill up with fisherman’s. Here, he retells nine stories from the Old Testament, and translates Mark's Gospel verse by verse. He ends with the Lord's Prayer-"the prayer that Jesus taught 'is chinas"--which could leave traditionalists writhing in their pews: "You're the Boss, God, and will be for ever, innit?" We hope we can all ‘ave a butcher’s at Heaven and be there as soon as possible: and we want to make you happy, Guv, and do what you want ‘ere on earth, just like what you do in Heaven. I love these alternative presentations - it's just like what Jesus did, He went into the countryside and told people the Good News by using their language and culturally appropriate stories, these new examples are our culture's ways of expression, so in my opinion it is doing what Jesus said 'God and preach the Gospel to all nations.'

I'm sorry Sharon, Croydon thinks it is sacrilege. I'm a Methodist preacher and am very happy for the Bible to be presented in any way that enhances interest and understanding. I think God has a sense of humour, too. Soederberg's attempt is clearly not altruistic, a businessman looking for his slice. Hence the easy triviality of his and other versions mentioned. It hardly matters to the Church, they don't believe half of what the Bible teaches. Didn't the main character of the Bible teach: "you received free, give free"?
