I've also heard good things about the Tyndale Bible, thanks for reminding me, will have to check it out. good to go as far back as possible & the comparisons help too, can tell a lot by what is left out/changed.
It's not so much things being left out or changed, but more that our understanding of linguistics, and the ancient Greek and Hebrew languages, along with the historical contexts, have improved greatly over the many, many years since some translations were created. So our ability to translate the true meanings of the original sources has gotten better over time to create a more accurate version.
