Though that would make the bible a hell of a lot shorter. In the states, we like to read left to right, which means new readers have to drudge through the worst parts of the bible before getting to the kind of good parts about three quarters of the way through.
Good News For Modern Man
I have one somewhere.
It's just the NT, and the language and vocabulary was perked up to a mid 60s sensibility. It was a big deal back in the day (I think mine was given to me at church) and I recall the minister doing sermons based on it.
It was illustrated with simple b/w drawings too. I recall (accurately I hope) Jesus and the fig tree being one of the illustrations.
Of course now, I realize it was vile, it's departure from the sacred King James 1611 was enormous, and of course, any believers that believe that particular version are damned.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
