Bible Question: Now that everyone has had a chance to really use and study the ESV Bible, what is your conclusion? Back in 2002 there were some long threads on it discussing it's quality,long term use and survival as an alternative to the NIV,NKJV, and NASB. What are your more recent thoughts? |
Bible Answer: It is at the top of my list, along with the Updated NASB. In fact, I may well switch back to it as my default Bible next month. While it's not perfect (I also have problems with the lack of capitalized pronoun reference to Deity, for example), I do find it to be a wonderful blend of accuracy and pleasant readability. Another big selling point for me personally was the release of Max McLean's Listener Bible in the ESV. I travel quite a bit and count it a real blessing to have a high quality audio bible program available. |
