Phase 3: The NSV is born

With Phase 2 now solidly complete, we have a wording of the KJV/ASV/DRA and other, Genesis only, with many custom word choices and phrasings, which we may now lay copyright claim to as the NSV. The link for this project will now be set as http://www.noachide.ca/wiki/nsv:start What follows is a theological consistency pass. This means […]

A Public Domain Rashi

Phase 2: A quick modernization phase where […]

I had also kicked around the CMSB (Counter-Missionary Study Bible), but the reality is that it is […]
