"Scripture in its most literal format" 'Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely acclaimed as “the most literally accurate translation” from the original languages . . . The updated NASB remains the most literally accurate Bible in the English language. (...) 'At NO point did the translators attempt to interpret Scripture through translation. Instead, the NASB translation team adhered to the principles of literal translation. This is the most exacting and demanding method of translation, requiring a word-for-word translation that is both accurate and readable. This method follows the word and sentence patterns of the original authors in order to enable the reader to study Scripture in its most literal format...' (http://www.gospelcom.net/lockman/nasb/). |

Kalos I don't certainly don't want to shake anyone's confidence in the excellent Bible translations we have available to us. NASB is an excellent translation and I prefer it. However the fact remains that translation is a not an exact science where compromises and interpretations come into play. While I think Lockman and their translation team did an excellent job and in many cases I prefer their decisions over the ones made by other translators, to say their translation is authoritatively the ‘most accurate’ is simple not possible. I would recommend the NASB to anyone that wanted to a very literal translation but I would also ask them to consider the KJV, NKJV and the ESV also. I feel any of these four in particular do an especially excellent job at presenting the true word of God in accurate and faithful manner. That is all I’m saying. EdB |
