May I also suggest the LXX for the Old Testment? Being a former skeptic, I found so many contradictions in modern versions based on the late Masoretic Text where there were not contradictions in the same verses using the LXX.

One site: http://www.geocities.com/billykitche...?1147295163015 (this one shows the most ancient text (translated from ancient Greek and not Hebrew into English) side by side with the KJV. I used this a lot when I was trying to answer Bible Contradictions.

2nd site with free lexicon, index, and includes NT Greek. This is Interlinear: http://www.apostolicbible.com/index.htm

I also have a website where there is a list of other ancient texts including the Aramaic translation into English which is even older than the two Greek Texts (Sinai Text and Vaticanus). See: http://www.geocities.com/billykitche...?1147295163015

The LXX is what Jesus, his disciples, and the early church quoted from. One atheist I have debated made a great point when he said, "If the LXX was good enough for Jesus, then shouldn't it be good enough for Christians?" Frank Zindler
