Hi -- I just finished my first year listening to the DAB online -- totally awesome!

I don't recall hearing much, if any, from the New King James version, and I was hoping to get a few weeks of that this year. I know that using the Old Kings James version would be tough to understand because of the antiquated language, but the NKJV uses pretty common language.

Just my suggestion. Thanks!

Hi, I'm Catholic and, like all of you, love to read the Bible. I'm just found this podcast the beginning of January and am enjoying it very much. This thread made me feel welcome. Thanks and God bless you.

Question about the Apocrypha:

Is the book of Enoch generally included in the Apocrypha? I did a quick search on it, but was confused if it was a Catholic book or an Ethiopian book or what?

I learned about this book after Enoch peaked my curiosity from his recent appearance in the reading. For the economy of words, what a great and mysterious cameo role.

Thanks family.

Hi Brodie,

The Book of Enoch is only in the canon of scripture in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

Dear Daily Audio Bible team,
Has anyone considered a daily reading in all the versions you do every day- to lend fluidity to those who are particular to reading one version? Perhaps this could be discussed further in forums. There could even be several online readers narrating if it seems too big a task for only Brian to do.

Has the Revised Standard Version ever been read? I know that the New Revised Standard Version is under a strict copyright, but I think the RSV should be available.

I do read from the New Revised Standard occasionally.

to clarify for all of you, the apocryphal books are as follows.
1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, additions to the book of Daniel (I suggest reading the whole book of daniel w/ additions if you are doing the apocryphal readings...), additions to the book of Esther, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, 3 Maccabees, and 4 Maccabees, the Book of Baruch (with the Epistle of Jeremiah at the end), Psalm 151 (I feel it is a weak Psalm...), the Prayer of Manasseh, The Wisdom of Solomon and The Wisdom of Sirach (aka Ecclesiasticus)(both proverbial books)
the Catholic cannon excludes 1 & 2 Esdras, 3 &4 Maccabees, and Psalm 151 from the cannon and the rest are deuterocannonical.
I think there are other books referred to as cannonical, but they are "pseudepigrapha", such as the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, and so forth.
and a clarifying point: 2 Esdras was written after Christ, so you may have difficulty tracking it down sometimes due to its low acceptance rate...A good read though with Messianic implications (though the Messiah had already come, sillies)

There are others not mentioned above as well that are canonical in the orthodox traditions. These will all be eventually available in the DAB store. I have completed readings of Tobit and Judith and enjoyed them immensely.

Blessings

I read all of the above (at least to some degree, the wisdom books I graze every now and then but haven't 100 percent finished) except for 3 and 4 Maccabees. I don't personally think I will like them, but I'll probably get around to them sooner or later.
