Bible Note: Nolan, Even if I didn't have 2 kids and a home biz, I'd still not go at it the way you do. The stuff you pump out here is always great to read. I'm reading the Psalms right now, mostly in the KJV, but I cruise to the NASB and ESV for comparatives. The KJV is peerless in the Psalms, but the grittiness, the awkward literalness of the NASB is often just what the doctor ordered. The ESV has a pithy, crystalline quality, a new-car feel that is great (it's superior in the Song of Songs), but gimme that old-time KJV religion, know what I mean? What version do you lean to in the Psalms, or do you stay "spontaneous" here too? Thanks for the tips, by the way. Colin |
