Bible Version News

From Way of Life’s Friday Church News Notes for 22 July 2018: 

KING JAMES BIBLE STILL THE PREFERRED TRANSLATION IN AMERICA (Friday Church News Notes, June 22, 2018, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The 2015 Barna State of the Bible survey found that the King James Bible remains the preferred Bible version among Americans by far. It is the preferred Bible by 39% of those surveyed. After that is the New International Version (NIV), at 13%, and the New King James (NKJV), at 10%. These numbers have remained consistent since 2012. There is a significant difference when it comes to age groups. Among Boomers (age 50-68), 43% prefer the KJV; among Gen-Xers (age 31-49), 41%; but among Millennials (age 16-30), it is 28%. Still, the King James Bible is the preferred translation among all age groups over the New International Version, which is the next favorite.

Creative Commons and Attribution

Last week, I received an interesting email from someone asking me to change the attribution on one of the pictures I had used. 

Here’s the article:  http://www.maxsons.org/2014/01/17/american-culture-and-the-media 
Here’s the image I used:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/87735223@N02/11359245033/

All of my own images are published with a creative commons license and I’m totally for the idea that the person gets to control what happens with their stuff; however, I think it is a step too far to use that to drive traffic to a website as opposed to a simple attribution.
