Sunam - Echoes of what Doc said about the Jerusalem Bible ...... cast your net again, because there are better fish in the pond! I'll go along with Doc's picks, NASB and ESV, and add a trio more: KJV, NKJV, Holman CSB. In my judgment, all of these are better pickings than the Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Bible (1966) and its revision, The New Jerusalem Bible (1985) have presented formidable problems for the conservative Bible student since their publication.

Hank, I agree with your recommendations for the best Bible translations, including the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). In my opinion the HCSB is an excellent and trustworthy translation. It has been said of it that it is more readable than the NASB and more literal than the NIV. In the HCSB where the literal translation is not in the text itself, it is usually in the footnotes, giving the reader the best of both worlds (in my opinion). Also, I believe the alleged lack of clarity (the "unreadability") , woodenness, awkwardness and unsuitability for public reading of the New American Standard Bible has been GREATLY exaggerated. It is much ado about nothing. Grace to you, John * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. Psalm 27:5 (KJV) For He will conceal me in His shelter in the day of adversity; He will hide me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high on a rock. Psalm 27:5 Holman Christian Standard Bible |

John, nice of you to respond with your usual fine insights. Yes, I'd recommend to anyone the HCSB over the NIV, NLT and other "easy reading" versions that frequently take liberties with the text that sometimes make my liver quiver. ..... And I do concur with your thinking that the harsh criticisms of the NASB as being flat and wooden are indeed "much ado about nothing." I don't know who started this rumor about the NASB as being wooden and hard to read, but my guess is that he didn't know good style from bad, and they who picked up on his misinformed, unlettered, and unfair evalulation, and in turn spread the rumor further, are as misinformed as he was. The moral is, I suppose, that one is unwise to base his judgment on the judgment of linguistic bumpkins. --Hank | ||||||
