1 | Why the NKJV over the NASB ? | Bible general Archive 3 | Huron | 189792 | ||
The NASB has always been a bit of a "sholars" Bible. Well, maybe not quite, but it's been my experience that those who really use their Bible and are really concerned with real (not perceived) accuracy go with the NASB. The NASB does have it's quirks. Try to read from one aloud! It's clumsy. If you try to follow along with a group you will also find that word order is different from other translations. I like and use the NKJV also, but by following the majority text it is prone to many of the inaccuracies of the TR derived KJV. Getting back to your question, there is a concern about the newer translations being a "change" from the KJV. Secondly, I think that the NKJV is advertised more than the NASB. Huron |

Huron, Thanks for your good post. You write: 'there is a concern about the newer translations being a "change" from the KJV. Secondly, I think that the NKJV is advertised more than the NASB.' Agreed. And thirdly, not only is the NKJV advertised more, it appears that it is relatively easy to get permission to use the NKJV as the text of various study and niche (specialized market) Bibles. Such, it seems, has not been the case with the NASB, which is the text of far fewer such Bibles. Also, speaking only for myself, the NASB is not at all wooden or clumsy to one who has been reading the KJV for more than 50 years. :-) Grace to you, Kalos |
