Leaner Meaner Bible without the Poetry

I'm not saying that it's tinkered to anybody's tastes per se but think of it like a game of chinese whispers where things you'd never think existed turn up at the end.

Hey, Tribesman's version of the 1 minute bible isn't bad Don

I'm not sure I get the subtleties of many modern languages let alone 4,000 year old ones

You've got a good point Ah_Dut, but you're overlooking one thing. When you play Chinese whispers, you don't think you'll be damned to eternal torment if you don't do your utmost to get every last word correct to the best of your ability.

But yeah, while we're on this subject, some other great works in history that could deal with some revision to fit into our busy schedules...

The U.S. Constitution: We're in charge, you're not. Get over it.

A Tale of Two Cities: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. (That's all).

War And Peace: There was some war. Then a little peace. Then of course, some more war.

Grey's Anatomy: Whoop, there it is!

" 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Isn´t that already a summary of all?
