Bible Question: The "Holman Christian Standard Bible" is the newest translation to make the scene. Only the New Testament is available now; the Old Testament is scheduled for publication in 2004. If anyone has seen it, what are your thoughts? I received my a copy today and if anyone would like, I'll be happy to post what information I have on it. |
Bible Answer: My personal policy regarding use of Bibles: I do not use translations produced and controlled by commercial publishers such as the New King James (Nelson); I do not use "one man/small group" translations, such as the Living Bible or the Message; I do not use translations developed and editorially controlled primarily by denominations such as God's Word (Lutheran), or New World (Jehovah Witnesses). I am an active Southern Baptist, but I do not plan to use Holman's Baptist Bible. |
