Bible Note: Hi, BMyers :: One of dearest and sweetest ladies I've ever known, a precious old saint who for years was a member of my home church until the Lord called her to glory a couple of years ago, said to me one day, "Hank, I just don't think I'll ever be able to accept these new translations. I've tried to read them, but they don't seem like the Bible to me." I noticed that in her lap she was holding a copy, much tattered and worn, of the King James Bible. If I thought reading the KJV would make me half the saint that she was, I'd order a case of them tomorrow. ....... My mother loved the King James, and I still have her copy, the one she owned up until she died, tucked away among my prized earthly treasures. My father, on the other hand, was a staunch defender of the American Standard Version of 1901. It was his conviction that the King James was written for the British but he was an American, so both for patriotic and theological reasons, he favored the American Standard Version. The fine translation that we know today as the NASB is essentially the old American Standard Version of 1901 dressed up in a new suit of clothes. --Hank |
