Hank: I could have made the list longer of versions that I personally think have serious flaws. For example NRSV, RSV, NEB, and several study Bibles made by some Bible Teachers that use a good Bible version. I was forced at Midwester Baptist Theological Seminary to use the RSV. I still look at my notes, but rarely, if ever read that Bible. I noticed you did not mention the NIV in your lists of responsible translations, was that for me to think it is not a responsible translation? I no of no other translation that has such a srtong commitment to the authority and infallibility of the Bible as the NIV. I ask this with respect, not meaning to stirr the pot. I thought I read sometime ago that you liked the New Living Bible. I looked at it but it simply is not what I was interested in. You mentioned reading ability, and the KJV,and the NKJV are at atleast an 11th grade reading level. What should we do for those who read at a 6th grade level, from which I have read is the avrage American non-college educated, persons reading level? I doubt I could encourage anyone to use the Good News Bible. I think you are very fortunate to have the command of the English language that you have. Your words flow like glass. There are few I know that have the ability you have been blessed with. Thank you for your imput. justme |

Justme I find it interesting you have problems with the RSV and like the NIV. I’m just the opposite, I can get into the RSV but every time I read the NIV I get upset. I simply don't like how it handles the Holy Spirit. The NIV seems to downplay the Holy Spirit, in fact it seems to downplay many spiritual realities that other translations seem to highlight. Now the NRSV, TNIV and The Living Bible to me should not have been printed. I guess I’m a little like Hank I like the NKJV, NASB, ESV, and NLT. I use the NKJV for any teaching or preaching and many times in personal devotions, the NASB for study, the ESV for personal reading and NLT when someone has a problem understanding a passage. I would use the NASB for most everything if it wasn’t so hard for me to read from it aloud. The turn of the words tangles my tongue and I spend more time trying to get un-tongue tied than I do speaking. In the same light I would probably use the ESV more if wasn’t so new and more people had it. EdB |
