I downloaded it from project Gutenberg, which has a version with translations from three different authors appearing side by side. The thing is, that one is driving me kind of nuts, so I think I'll ask a colleague which version they think is more accurate and go with that.

BRAVE OF YOU, I CANT EVEN GET THROUGH THE BIBLE. OR THE BOM, OR D&C OR POGP , MOST OF THE TIME I CAN NOT EVEN MAKE IT THROUGH THE ENSIGN FP MESSAGE. ITS ALL ABOUT FEELINGS ANYWAY RIGHT?

What does the bible teach about Christianity? Is the Koran any more relevant to Islam than the bible is to Christianity? joe w
