Which version?  We have the King James and a "modern" version.  We also
have a concordance and interpretive texts to supplement them.  Other
faiths are also represented.  We have a Talmud, Koran, and more.  Some are
ciruculating, some are reference.  No problems yet, but we do have a
"decency" group in our community which is pushing to have materials with
sexual situations and excessive violence banned from our schools.  I
wonder if they have ever read a Bible.
