Subject: which is more correct desription ? |
Bible Note: John, nice of you to respond with your usual fine insights. Yes, I'd recommend to anyone the HCSB over the NIV, NLT and other "easy reading" versions that frequently take liberties with the text that sometimes make my liver quiver. ..... And I do concur with your thinking that the harsh criticisms of the NASB as being flat and wooden are indeed "much ado about nothing." I don't know who started this rumor about the NASB as being wooden and hard to read, but my guess is that he didn't know good style from bad, and they who picked up on his misinformed, unlettered, and unfair evalulation, and in turn spread the rumor further, are as misinformed as he was. The moral is, I suppose, that one is unwise to base his judgment on the judgment of linguistic bumpkins. --Hank |
