Bible Question:
Good morning, What is the most accurate Bible from every point of view. Thanks, Jim |
Bible Answer: NASB ’95 Update (New American Standard Bible, 1995 edition) 'The NASB remains the most literally accurate Bible in the English language.' 'Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely acclaimed as "the most literally accurate translation" from the original languages.' 'With the NASB, anyone can discover what the original text really says, word for word, because the NASB consistently follows the oldest and best manuscripts.' 'Ultimately, what separates the New American Standard Bible from the various available versions is that the NASB is a literal word-for-word translation from the original languages.' (The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, CA) Other literal translations include: the ESV (English Standard Version), the KJV (King James Version ), the RSV (Revised Standard Version), and the NKJV (New King James Version). |
