Four Square: The answers you get on recommended Bible versions will be subjective and my answer is no exception. The translations I use, in order of preference and frequency of use, are New American Standard Bible (NASB), New King James Version (NKJV), the New Scofield Study Bible, King James Version (KJV), the English Standard Version (ESV), and, occasionally, the Amplified Bible, the New International Version (NIV), and the New Living Translation (NLT). I do not use or recommend highly paraphrased versions such as The Message and the Living Bible (not to be confused with the NLT listed above, which is a remarkable improvement of the Living Bible). Nor will I have anything to do with these new "gender neutral" versons, such as Todays New International Version (TNIV). Avoid like the plague the New World Translation, a Watchtower travesty. ..... This list is not exhaustive; there are other good translations such as the Holman Christian Standard Bible and the popular new NET Bible that has oodles of annotations made by the translating team. ..... For detailed study, I won't use any paraphrased version, but prefer instead a more formal word-for-word translation, examples of which are NASB, NKJV, ESV, and KJV. Almost all modern readers require a supplemental glossary to help them over the linguistic humps of the KJV if they are approaching it for the first time. ..... The problem today lies not in finding a good translation but in choosing from among the many a favorite that one would like to adopt as his primary version for reading and study. I find it awkward and confusing to play the field, so to speak, reading from a different version every time I engage in the study of God's word. One needs a "home base" -- a version that he uses most of the time, sampling other versions only occasionally when the need arises; for example, to consult other versions in order to get a better sense of the meaning of a particularly difficult passage of Scripture, or simply to read for a change of pace familiar old passages dressed up in fresh, new language. --Hank | ||||||
