Other versions, but may have problems (undecided at this time):
Scholarly translations:
Revised Webster Bible 1995 - I don't know anything about this version, it seems of good quality - http://faithofgod.org/EnglishC/
Easy-Reading, KJV, Evidence Bible - "The archaic old English words have been replaced with their modern equivalents, without altering the meaning of the King James text. http://www.evidencebible.com/navigator.html
Third Millennium Bible - This is an interesting Bible, recently published. It is based off of the KJV21, but adds the Apocryphal books. This work is sly. Many conservatives are seeking Textus Receptus/Majority Text Bibles, this plan enables them to slip into the camp with an ecumenical pursuit, the work towards the One World religion. http://www.biblestudytools.net/Onli...amp;version=tmb
Not translations, but professional:
New Geneva Study Bible - now renamed as: The Reformation Study Bible - 1995 - this is a "Study Bible" and not a translation. They use the NKJV and have lots of notes and teachings centered around the Reformation theologies. Some of these teachings may have been changed since the Reformation. While I tend to like the NKJV, the teachings in this version are BAD! Here are some reviews of these teachings from this Bible:

http://www.revelationwebsite.co.uk/...mix/infants.htm
Defined King James Bible 1998 - This is not a translation, but only defines old words for modern readers in the notes. This Bible may promote King James onlyism.

Possible scholarly work or possibly acceptable:
Sacred Name Bible(s) - These are not "real" translations. They are usually translations from Public Domain Bibles like KJV or Darby. They replace words like Jesus & God, with transliterations like YHWH, IhsouV, Yeshua, Elohim... - http://www.sacrednamebible.com/index.htm
Here's a link with many Sacred name Bibles: http://www.maxpages.com/yahshua/YAH...iterated_Bibles
Updated King James Version 2000 - This really isn't a translation. Someone wrote a program to translate old english words into modern words. Then used that to change the KJV. Only 6% was "translated/changed". They didn't change any text, just let the program change some words. I have placed this "translation" above the ones below, only because a machine updated the language, and not a man. - http://www.geocities.com/updatedkjv/
Doubt the scholastic work, (may or may not be professional):
V.W. Edition - "It is compiled from out of the NKJV, LITV and KJV texts, Proof-Reading, CORRECTING the ERRORS the unGodly have put into the English versions, with the aid of the tools that scholarship has already provided to anyone who desires to use them." http://www.a-voice.org/bible-vw/bible.htm
American King James Version before 1999 - someone took the KJV and hand changed old english into new english, no grammar has been changed - http://www.angelfire.com/al4/allenkc/akjv/
King James Clarified unknown - It is theologically identical to the New Testament in the King James Bible (KJV), but many of the words have been updated for easier understanding. http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/kjc/kjvc.html
Revised Young's Literal Translation work in progress - even YOU can work on this translation - http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/rylt/rylt.html
