Normally I'd suggest the nearest Veritas bookshop, but as there might not be one nearby there would be digital editions on Amazon or Project Gutenberg.

Eason's in Dublin would have stocked them I'm sure, and I think there is a branch in Wexford. I've seen the Cenacle Christian Bookshop, Wexford, on Google, don't know if its still there. Final suggestions, borrow one from your local library, or ask at a local church. Don't know if the RC priest would give you one but any CoI clergyman worth his/her salt should be able to help you out, or you could buy one online.

Thanks folks I was popping in and out of places today during work to try find one with no success, woman looked at me funny when I asked In Easons in kilkenny this morning!

Am going to try Waterford tomorrow and see, I'm hours from home so wouldn't know anyone to ask

I would have thought the Book Centre in Waterford would have one, but I don't know! That's the biggest bookshop anyway.

Christchurch Cathedral has a little corner where they sell religious items so that might be a possibility.

Nip into any hotel mid morn, stroll the corridors and you'll most certainly find chambermaids cleaning rooms. Say you forgot something and have it away with the bible sure to be found in a bedside locker.

I normally buy mine online. Never have an issue getting one when needed.

You forgot "then ask God for forgiveness" :D

Go to jw.org and download a bible free... plus anything you don't understand or have questions about, just pop it in the search bar. There's also videos and cartoons for children, and it's all directly from the Bible with the relevant scriptures to look up yourself, no man made theologies.

Just guessing, but outside of the OP most likely having got a bible in the intervening three years since they last posted, I'd also imagine they were looking for a more traditional trinitarian Christian source rather than one from the Jehovah's Witness.

Pop online. There's plenty of good translations. I'd recommend either the NIV (more readable), or the ESV (more literal to the Greek and Hebrew).

The latter is only £1.79 on amazon.co.uk

I respond to requests that are emailed to me, I don't check the dates. ðŸ˜
There is no such thing as a "trinitarian" bible because the trinity is not a bible teaching.

Technically correct, but exegesis reading of the text would bear out that teaching

The JW bible, on the other hand, is a translation with a heavy JW spin - anything they disagreed with they translated differently, completely inconsistently with every other translation

You've obviously not read our Bible, and we actually have several other translations of the Bible on our website for people to down load because all scriptures say the same if taken in context, apart from the fact that we put Jehovah's name back where it was before being removed because the jews felt humans weren't good enough to use his name, when in fact so many scriptures say we should. Jesus taught us to in the model prayer, our father in heaven, sanctify your NAME. Adonai and God Almighty are titles, not names.

I know this is an old thread looking for a physical bible, but the oremus Bible Browser is a great resource for browsing the NRSV Bible.

Nip along to your local hotel around cleaning room time, pop into an open room and grab one of the Gideon bibles. I gather it's okay to have away with them

It's certainly not okay before July 20th.
