Intro and Thesis!

Thesis Statement: The LDS King James Version of the Bible is more effective for study than any other English translation because it provides a more accurate rendering than most English Bibles, contains study helps, and encompasses the most extensive cross references of this sacred text ever.

Working Introduction

The LDS KJV Bible has so many study helps, more than any other text. The question is whether or not more modern translations could be of use when trying to understand more of the culture, doctrine, and history contained in the divine book. I believe that the LDS KJV of the Bible is still the cream of the crop among other modern translations. Many people cannot understand the KJV’s old English, so many turn to the NIV, known as the New International Version. The LDS King James Version of the Bible is more effective for study than any other English translation because it provides a more accurate rendering than most English Bibles, contains study helps, and encompasses the most extensive cross references of this sacred text ever.

Taking time to understand what the Lord is trying to tell us through the scriptures takes work. But it is this work and study that allows us to feel the Holy Ghost. Putting effort toward reading the scriptures and deciphering what these ancient prophets are trying to tell us will help learn the scriptures better.
