Bible for the Middle Class

Announcing a New Version of the Bible for the Middle Class
August 1, 2008

Read it all from From Brown Blog

There are literally hundreds of versions and styles of the Bible with new ones coming out every month, so it was only a matter of time before a Bible came out just for the middle class. Called The Middle Class Message: Guilt Free Version it is a fresh and contemporary translation that removes those parts of the Bible which make middle class people feel uncomfortable.

This is as a result of research that shows most middle class folks stay away from the Bible as it expects them to change, with the MCM Bible they can own and read a Bible that suits their lifestyle choices.

An example of this stunning contemporary translation:

Matthew 19:3-9:

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?” “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate unless things are getting a bit hard and they really have no idea how to communicate with each other and he finds her parents unbearable, and she is tired of his excessive snoring”"Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, different life goals, constant arguing over which new BMW to buy, or a clash over the colour scheme in the kitchen and marries another woman isn’t very sensible.”
