>American Protestant religous art is so bland and devoid of color they can’t tell it’s a Latin American folk art depiction of Mary mourning over the Body of Jesus before he was placed in the tomb
Maybe if it had a McDonald’s logo and an explaination in comic sans they would get it

This shit is why people become orthodox or catholic, the Christian artistic tradition is much more rich than that spikey haired portrait that one kid painted or Mormon Jesus holding up the Constitution

RSV Common Bible Expanded Edition, or the 90’s NRSV with Apocrypha if you can work around the inclusive language. My bias is that I’m Orthodox and it’s easier to carry around a decent one volume Bible than the Lexham Septuagint and the EOB NT. Most people would just go for the NRSV or NKJV anyways since it’s what’s available and they’re not autistic like us
