> "A more modern bible" does seem a bit of a paradox
Heh, I see what you mean, but we have learned a lot about the times the Bible was written and the people who wrote it since the first translations to Latin and other languages. And the translations we made since those first translations accumulated a lot of cruft that didn't come from the original sources.

That's why the Swedish Bibel 2000 was written based on proper scholarly understanding of the material and a critical eye to where texts were coming from and what they really meant.

That combined with updated language that is better understandable to an audience of today is reasonable to call a "modern Bible".
