1 | Comparing versions to the literal Greek | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 181368 | ||
I wonder, when people say there are places in the ESV where they are disappointed in the translation, are they comparing the ESV to the NASB? Or are they comparing both the ESV and NASB to the literal translation of the Greek and Hebrew words? [Disclaimer: In this Question it is not my intention to start a translation debate. Nor am I saying here that one of these two versions is better than the other.] Grace to you, John |

I withdraw the question due to lack of interest. John |

Dear Brother John, It wasn't lack of interest that kept me from responding. Rather, it was a lack of ability to articulate my own thoughts on this point. I've been thinking about it since you posted it. I like the ESV for its simplicity. However, a dear friend of mine gave me an NET Bible this year. I find myself drawn to it more and more! In Him, Doc |

Doc: Glad you're enjoying your NET Bible. I'm sure the friend who gave it to you will be pleased to know that. I myself am reading it more and more. (Tonight I took it to Bible study.) One thing I like about the NET Bible is that in those passages where the literal translation of the Greek or Hebrew is not present in the text, it is in the footnotes. Speaking of books, I have begun reading 'The Word of God in English: Criteria for Excellence in Bible Translation' by Leland Ryken. It's a good read and an excellent treatment of the subject. Grace to you, John |
