Eric Cartman SG

1. Get christian friends but act like you are not very interested in christianity.
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

vince69 SG

can try Singapore Bible House (think have the most different version I know of) Smile

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.

vince69 SG

The Bible at the Rock Bookshop, very limited (in my opinion), there is also Life Bookshop at Suntec which is better.

Icemoon SG

The normal NRSV is quite rare in Singapore. Study Bible even worse.

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.

laoda99 SG

Tecman should have the best price.

skyodise SG

wow.. few minutes so many reply.. what a lively forum Smile
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.

laoda99 SG

Yes Tecman is a bookshop name in Bras Brasah.

4th floor i think...

Icemoon SG

Yes, Tecman is a bookshop in Bras Brasah Complex.

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.

Icemoon SG

few days ago I went .. think they shifted or expand liao. Now 2nd or 3rd floor at the right side of the escalator.

skyodise SG

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.

laoda99 SG

Go Kino. I think they have 20 percent discount now.

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.

skyodise SG

No, I rather get Christian Critics books from Christian scholar, that way is more objective IMO

laoda99 SG

Actually, the author u quoted of that book misquoting Jesus is not very much different from other scholars.

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.

Bontakun SG

In anycase you go have a look at those shops others have put in here.

skyodise SG

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.

laoda99 SG

I am a skeptic too.

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.
