Lillie: I have done a little research on your question and haven't yet found a documented answer. So my tentative answer will not be scientific. Instead, it will be based on personal observation of several factors: which translations fill most of the shelf space in bookstores, what translations people carry to church, the translations I see in people's homes, and the most often preached out of translations (including preachers at church, preachers on radio-TV, visiting missionaries, etc.) Based on my observation, the two translations which appear to be the most used in general are: the King James Version and the NIV. Supposedly the NIV leads the KJV in sales, but I'm not going to declare that as fact unless I can back it up with documentation. I wouldn't argue which translation sells the most -- KJV or NIV. But I think we can safely say the two top selling and most used versions are the KJV and the NIV, without arguing about which of the two is number one. |

Hi Lillie, yes I read it! I use the NLT when I just want to sit down (or lie down) and read just for the sake of reading God's Word. The NLT does a very nice job (especially in Psalms and Proverbs) at being very readable as a dynamic equivalent translation. I don't use the NLT for word study but it does help me to get a different 'flavor' of some passages where I've gotten used to another translation and I'd like to see it afresh. I hope you enjoy it if you have it. Unlike the Living Bible (a true paraphrase), the NLT is a true translation. It is just not a word-for-word formal equivalence translation like the NASB. Grow in grace, Bill Mc |
