I have always been brought up in church and for a long time my King James Version of the Bible is all that I ever knew about. I then went on to college at UAM and began learning about other translations of the the Bible. I then surrendered to the ministry and transfered schools. After starting college here I began learning more about the history part of the Bible and found how informative the Apocrypha is. I found it interesting what Dr. Foster said in class tuesday that we have study Bibles that have the notes from other peoples ideas on the text and we take them to heart. The Apocrypha is great because of the way it kind of sets up the New Testament. The is one goal of mine this semester is to read and study more from the Apocrypha.

I am the same way. I have never been brought up around different translations of the text. COming to school does help in reading the text and discovering new translations. In fact, in a way I was warned away form the apocrypha cause it was associated with that dang Catholicism, but it is helpful. I am glad that someone else noticed that as well. Thanks man.
