What Hacker News says
- This is such an incredible story. This dude was a BA buccaneer and accomplished sailor.
He had one book with him: The Bible.
If you were allowed one book on a deserted island what book would you bring and why?
I’m taking the ESV Study Bible. Massive book with loads of commentary. Regardless of one’s beliefs it would be a phenomenal thing to concur.
- Great questions!
Well, Jesus says “I am the way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father (YHWH or God) but by me.” (John 14:6) So, he is essentially denying that there are other gods other than YHWH and that He is the only path to YHWH.
Christianity is quite unique because it is not a faith based on one’s own good works. So I find it extremely interesting in that regard.
I also think it’s extremely important to be skeptical of all “religion”. Religion is process oriented behavior while I believe faith is not. Church is often confused as a building where people listen to a boring sermon and sing a lame song. The Bible says church is anywhere there are two people who have faith in Jesus as their savior.
Also, there is no way I can convince you of any of this. That’s not the point. I would highly recommend reading the ESV Study Bible’s Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and learning more for yourself. Not necessarily to be saved but so that you can be edified on this perspective. I would love to talk more about it!
- Have you considered trying a Bible with a built-in commentary? That might be more accessible if you’re looking for an overview with explanation/cross-references in the margins.
I recommend this one, for the English Standard Version, which does a good job of capturing the initial meaning of the language: ESV Study Bible (Indexed) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1433544032/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_t.aj...
- With a score of 4.81, the highest rated book is Bill Watterson’s The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, ahead of the ESV Study Bible.
