1 | To wine, or not to wine? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 69696 | ||
Justme Yes it is Dr. J. I. Packer, He is listed as the ESVTM General Editor. I saw a film of the with Dr. Packer narrating telling the story of how this translation came about it was fascinating. He was also on Moody Radio a few times talking about this translations. I just wish they would come out in a wide margin, single column, larger font with good leather. Pick one up, the copy I bought came with an electronic copy by Wordsearch which developed the STEP format that your Parsons software uses. You will get about number of good books that will integrate into you library. Plus when you register it with Wordsearch they will also give you a copy of the Classic Bible commentary that you can download to your system. All in all you get a good beginners Bible library for the price of the ESV bible. Plus you get to try Wordsearch with is far superior to your Parson’s software. I have tried them all. EdB |

EdB :-) Good day to you. I am glad it is the same Dr. Packer. If you have never read his book HOT TUBB RELIGION you have a treat in store! What a title for a book! I went to www.gnpc.org?home/esv. I spent a good length of time looking up the passages they have. I was impressed with the translation, and the team members. Some translator team members came from the seminary my wife and I went to. Dr. Page Patterson was listed, as the SBC convention president, and that has been a while ago, so they have been working on this translation for a good while. That's good to see, as time is a factor in making a WORTHY translation. I think I read that a single column was due out in late 2003. I did find Cambridge has a Calfskin single colomn NIV now ot for 100 US dollars now, as well as well a NKJV single column wide margin calfskin for ONLY 200 US dollars. I think they had 12 in stock so hurry before they are gone. Well Brad I hope this give you some idea how this old Ozark mule is sorta stuck in my ways, and I enjoyed the information about the ESV. I think my age is catching up with me, or I am more aware of how changing, even good habits is difficult. My parsons software works well for me. it's only 10 years old. In software years that makes it like a Ford model T. As long as it runs I will keep it. My wife and I made our library with it's main theme in language studies of the New and Old Testament, four of the major commentaries, one being The Expositors Bible Commentary this uses the NIV. Theology was another area, we have the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament 10 volume set, and several other multi volume sets. We also have a strong emphasis on counseling, Missionology, and Church History. I think we have about 3,000 books. We gave away our most of the Christiam educstion books to the SBC local area director to give pastors that had no seminary. I have taken a special interest in of study in the Aztec Indians. I have been to the digs around Mexico City seven times. Books in english relating to the Aztecs bought in Mexico, are hard to find and rather expensive. I think we have 28 different translations of the New Testament and not quite as many complete Bibles. Perhaps one of the better New Testaments is THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE by Charles R. Williams. I often use that in compairing verses. We have beem very blessed, and we try not to keep books that are trendy and just fit for the time period there were writen for. When buying a Bible we have made every effort to get the leather cover and smyth sewn. These better Bible's last when taken care of for a hundred years or more. I have one I used in 1954 and has held up very well. Then again I have an Amplified Bible we got in 1984 in bonded leather that has seen very little use that the bonded cover has just fallen appart like bits of paper. The top and bottom are split and torn. Maybe it comes from lack of use. I think at this time in my life I have established a pattern that works well for me. I know where a verse in my main Bibles is. I know where I have put notes, and things that only mean something to me or my wife. I do admit Hank has tempted me in the New Living Translation and the NKJV a little. Our Pastor uses the NKJV and there is very little difference in his reading it aloud and what my updated NASB reads. In reality when so many have no Bible I feel rather selfish haveing a wide choice. Several times when missionaries or visiting students from Nigeria, or India have come and stayed with us we have given away good number of Bibles. We enjoy helping those who have so little and show such love of the Bible. Blessings! justme |

Justme My name is Ed you keep calling me Brad, but that's okay :-) If you like Parson's you'll love Wordsearch like I said the books are interchangeable. Hank ain't steering you wrong NKJV and NLT are great translations! I use the NKJV for all teaching and preaching. I use the NLT to better understand/explain a difficult passages. ESV is becoming my favorite though. As for your library and Bibles yes it is great to donate them to missionaries and young Pastors. I have substance abuse recovery center in the area (Teen Challenge)that is very appreciative of most any kind of material especially Bibles. I'm slowly giving away my Library as I get the book in E-text form or find an E-text book that can replace it. Right now Nelson and Logos have an agreement that Nelson will publish their books in Logos E-text format and my computer library is really growing. I'm really impressed with the group of scholars that were involved in the ESV translation. Men I have learned to trust through the years. What is the site for Cambridge. I did not know they were doing a NKJV. I appreciate their high quality and would be interested in a NKJV done by them. Be Blessed and Be a Blessing EdB |

Ed: Well have you considered changing your name to Brad? Sorry :-( ! Boy when I mess up there is no doubt anout it! The following webb address will get you to Cambridge Bibles. It is a long one too! www.bakerbooks.com/bakerbooks/divisions/cambridge/browsecambridge.htm Baker is now some way connected with Cambridge. I think I had to go to Amazon to get more info. You can also type in your search engine "Christian resource directory". There you will find about every publisher of all Bibles, and other good stuff. I know you will find endless trails to look into. I noticed you like Dr. McGee. I went to Church of the Open Door in L.A. CA. in the early sixties. I heard him preach a mumber of times. I listened to him preach the Bible on the radio for many years. He was able to complete the whole Bible as preached on the radio. Now, long after his passing on, his voice still is heard over many radio stations preaching the Bible. His goal was to complete the Bible study messages before he went home. The Lord allowed him to do just that. I am amazed as to how fresh it still is today. Have a good day, ED! :-) justme |

I listened to Dr McGee for 10 or more years. I traveled the Bible bus through the bible at least twice with him. I have his commentaries both in hardback and e-text format. He has such down to earth wisdom, that I find people can easily relate too. By the way I went to the Cambridge site they do not list a NKJV only KJV, NIV, RSV, NRSV, REV, and the Geneva. I didn't think they had the NKJV Nelson keeps it under pretty tight wraps. EdB |
