There is the artwork for one, and often the study helps are way too conservative. <br /><br />I don't have a good answer to the question -- but I'll try to see if anything pops up.Robert Cornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581876323110725024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-5430214816552242672010-10-12T01:23:12.966-04:002010-10-12T01:23:12.966-04:00Ok, this post is like a 1000 years old in blog-tim...Ok, this post is like a 1000 years old in blog-time, but did you know that it is actually the ONLY thing that comes up when you google "progressive children's bible" ?? Evidently the sad state of affairs you noted here way back in 2007 continues.<br /><br />And, btw, do you have any suggestions for Bibles to give to third graders that arent plagued with - as Drew notes - crappy notes and lousy theology? Last year I gave away some that I found lying around the church library (they were so pretty! and still wrapped in their plastic!) and they were so offensive and horrible,we ended up just ripping out the "life guide" sections in the back. would like to not have to do that again this year...Jennifer Garrison Brownellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10170014214291920971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-38492717476342682842007-12-29T13:09:00.000-05:002007-12-29T13:09:00.000-05:00Amen for a progressive kids Bible.

Now it's become my version of choice.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022414933969854363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-12128242350602392332007-12-29T13:00:00.000-05:002007-12-29T13:00:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022414933969854363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-6841010874423964582007-12-27T12:56:00.000-05:002007-12-27T12:56:00.000-05:00Drew,This is one of the after affects of a Mainlin...Drew,<BR/><BR/>This is one of the after affects of a Mainline decline -- There isn't a progressive children's bible out there.

I also use the ASV and the NKJV for exegesis.<BR/><BR/>But the last time I bought a bible I was amazed at how many super expensive bibles with pictures and nice flashy binding and crappy notes with lousy theology for kids. I was thinking, this is not really what God had in mind is it?Drew Tatuskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344192935890766744noreply@blogger.com
