The KJV is the only one that is not "copywrited" so I have used it the most but actually have leaned to the ESV lately.
What Bible Translations Do You Prefer?

Hello Major;
Do you remember the name of a Bible translation that was circulated specifically during the late 60s during the Jesus Movement?
This was a translation that I later called the "hippy bible" lol! because it was very American "everyday language and slang" and was far from the Hebrew and Greek. It circulated for awhile during that time but didn't last long.
60's? I was still living in the dark ages.
In the '70's this was a biggy...
I used to call it the Green Phantom.
Hello crossnote;
That's the one! lol! In high school we were reading another Bible at Youth Group but I don't remember the translation.
Yup. I remember the cover now.
Thanks!

Now its called the NLT!
So now you are trying to date me???
Yes, and if I remember correctly, In protest of traditional religious music, the sound of the Jesus Movement was solidly rock and roll and from that came the "Contemporary Christian Movement".
And when those people splintered in the 80's, one section became very cultic and the other half wound up in the Charismatic Pencostal denom. and the Vinyard Movement.
Thanks for reminding how old an old codger I am.
There was also one called Good News For Modern Man. I only saw a paperback version.
Hello Hopeful;
I remember the Good News For Modern Man, and that front cover.
God bless you, brother and thank you.

I recall reading from that version in '73 in a hotel room in Wyoming about the sower and the soils. Yes it was paperback.
Hello Lanolin;
I found the Authentic Youth Bible online and the hardbook has 1440 pages! and the translation is the ERV (Easy Read Version) lol!
When I was in youth group I don't remember the color of the study text but I want to say it was a blue paperback.
My Bible at home was black but I don't feel my Dad would allow me to decorate it a different color.
At Middle school I hung out with the cool kids. We all brought our Bibles to school one morning and we picked out a verse that sounded nice. Everyone would react, "oooh ahhh!" Then the next day we forgot all about it.
The infamous stick man figures!

Remember when big deal was made of Bob Dylan "coming to Christ?"So now you are trying to date me???

Yes I do.
Christians often are too quick to latch on to any celebrity that mentions 'Lord'. But Dylan was right, 'you gotta serve somebody'.
It was a crazy time. I recall the 1977 state fair. Jesus Freaks, was the term used for the Jesus movement at the time. They were on one corner and the Hari Krishnas on another. Might have been more groups. Seems they were everywhere that day.
Hello YeshuaFan;
My favorite Bob Dylan song was Like a Rolling Stone. It played on AM radio and when he appeared in a concert and went "electric" the crowd was shocked and felt musically betrayed.
I don't remember what year he received Christ but I think it was the late 70s? I wonder what Bible he uses?
