Hello everyone,

I'm contemplating getting a new Bible, and saw that NIV Study Bible brought out a new edition in 2008 . . . I figure that if I want to get a new Bible, it's best to get something updated. (Also, I'm interested in taking a look at an "Evidence Bible" with commentary by Ray Comfort).

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there's any store in Seoul that'd have a wide (and current) selection of Bibles. The Christian Bookstore I live near has books in English, but they're mostly 15 years old or older.

I figured that someone would make a remark like that.

No, the Bible hasn't changed . .. it's still NIV. However, the new edition has changed 25% of the notes in the Bible . .. if I just wanted a Bible without imbedded notes, I could get one extremely easily.

Any larger book store will have tons of Bibles. Kyobo Tower in Kangnam has gobs. Bandi & Lundis in COEX mall at Samsung station on the Green Line #2 has several, as well.

http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/search/SearchEngbookMain.jsp

Type "bible" in the search box, and click the "외국도서" choice.


For example: http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/product/detailViewEng.laf?ejkGb=ENG&mallGb=ENG&barcode=9780310938965&orderClick=LAI

Ask The Lord and He will provide.

Alternatively post your question on an ESL messageboard generaly populated by people who are educated enough to have at least a degree.

Let me know how this works out for you.
