Bible Question:
There's a new Translation called the World English Bible (WEB) also called the American Standard Version of 1997 (ASV97). Like the NAS, it's a revsion of the 1901 ASV. However, it's different than the NAS. It uses 'Yahweh' for God's name and the Majority text as it's base for the NT. As I speak, the NT, Psalms, and Proverns are finshed. You can find out more at http://worldenglishbible.org. Is it better or equal to the NAS? Also, what are your thoughts on the WEB/ASV97? |
Bible Answer: roverjbh99: My sincere thanks for bringing the World English Bible to our attention. This is the first I've heard of it. I will indeed check out the website, especially the FAQs, in detail. "Since the World English Bible is still a work in progress" and is as yet unpublished, I think it would be premature to make comparisons between it and the NASB. Nevertheless you ask an interesting question, the answer to which many will eagerly await. |
