1 | What do you think of new Holman Bible? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 2471 | ||
The "Holman Christian Standard Bible" is the newest translation to make the scene. Only the New Testament is available now; the Old Testament is scheduled for publication in 2004. If anyone has seen it, what are your thoughts? I received my a copy today and if anyone would like, I'll be happy to post what information I have on it. | ||||||

My personal policy regarding use of Bibles: I do not use translations produced and controlled by commercial publishers such as the New King James (Nelson); I do not use "one man/small group" translations, such as the Living Bible or the Message; I do not use translations developed and editorially controlled primarily by denominations such as God's Word (Lutheran), or New World (Jehovah Witnesses). I am an active Southern Baptist, but I do not plan to use Holman's Baptist Bible. | ||||||

For the record, may I ask which translation(s) of the Bible do you use? Please note: originally the King James Version could be published only by those who were licensed to do so by the King of England. Therefore, at one time, the KJV was copyrighted and its publication controlled. Sir, I respect your decision to use (a) certain translation(s) and not to use others. I definitely have my preferences and my own criteria for an English translation of the Bible. . . . However even the King James Version translators themselves wrote: "...variety of translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures" and "We affirm and avow that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession ... contains the Word of God, nay is the Word of God." |
