1 | Informed opinions of the ESV please? | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 98003 | ||
Greetings Newoldstock! You will be well served by looking in the Archives for more on the English Standard Version! I own two now - one in my bedroom and one in my living room! :-) For me, the ESV has taken its place as the translation that I use at my side for 'readability.' When a Christian uses the NASB for nearly everything, they are well served by having a handy, well-flowing and readable translation nearby. For me, this translation is unquestionably the ESV, which has all but became my most used Bible version in all my study. Only my NASBs get used more. I have given and continue to give the ESV my highest recommendations for study, memorization, readability, and worship. It has truly set a new standard, and has carried the legacy of the RSV to a much greater stature. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Nolan, I too think that the ESV is one of the best, if not the best new version. The only reason that I may stick with the NIV is to teach bible studies at my church. I have found that about 70 to 75 percent of the people in most of the classes that I teach use the NIV. It is much easier if I use the same bible that most of the class owns. | ||||||

newoldstock As a teacher you should instruct your people that the NIV they carry was published by a company that will go to any length to sell a book, even if it means changing the word of God. Which is exactly what Zondervan did when they created their gender neutral TNIV. They also broke solemn promises made about 5 years before saying they would not publish that Bible. These were made by Zondervan and the International Bible Society when the Chrsitian world orignially got wind of what they were doing. They let the furor die down by making the promise and then secretly began publishing it. I won't buy a thing from Zondervan. EdB |

Greetings Ed, I'm right there with you, my friend. I won't buy another NIV, or a NIVI, NIVr, TNIV. I am completely boycotting anything from Zondervan/IBS. I already have more than what I need with the NASB and ESV, and the HCSB coming out next year and the NKJV. So I can very easily live without the NIV, and I will. Blessings to you, Makarios |
