Subject: What is the best version of the Bible? |
Bible Note: Thanks, JVH, for your kind remarks. You most assuredly have my permission to quote or use anything I said in the note. I echo your enthusiasm for the NASB and applaud your fine judgment in using the NIV with teenagers. The language of the NIV probably hits to the heart of the young somewhat more poignantly than does the more formal language of the NASB which likely appeals to the more mature mind. At 66, I'm surely ripe for the NASB! In a review for Amazon.com of the NASB single-column reference Bible, I said that if I could have only one Bible, and never again be permitted to have any other, this is the Bible I would choose. |
