This groovy bible was clearly a product of its era. The copyright info page features a stamp-like insignia that reads: "GOD'S WORD FOR A NEW AGE"


The Modern Language New Testament

The Modern Language New Testament or simply, "MLNT," was a popular translation apparently. It has since evolved into the The Modern Language Bible, or "MLB." Not to be confused with the New International Version, or "NIV." All three, I presume, differ considerably with the "KJV."
