Subject: Introducing the English Standard Version |
Bible Note: Greetings Colin! Perhaps they should look into consulting an English sentence-structure expert when they decide to do another revision.. :-) You would think that a book that is so widely read as the Bible would have no errors in punctuation! Even so, I have not found any errors in punctuation in the ESV yet.. But regardless of all its shortcomings, the NASB remains the Bible version of choice for me, since I have grown accustomed to it and am now very familiar with it.. But yes, I would greatly enjoy chatting with your friend about his 25-yr old, duct-taped NASB.. :-) Actually, I've been studying differences in the Majority Text, the Textus Receptus, and the Alexandrian Texts of late.. I have always enjoyed the KJV/NKJV renderings of Acts 8:27 and 1 Timothy 3:16 over that of the NASB/ESV, even though the NASB keeps Acts 8:27 within the text. Blessings to you, Makarios |
