Bible Question: What are your informed opinions of the ESV now that you have had more opportunity to read and asess it? I have been using it lately after reading searched posts by the folks of this forum. I thank you for pointing me to it. I am very pleased with this translation. I never thought that I would move from the NKJ and the NIV, but the ESV is winning me over. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Newoldstock! You will be well served by looking in the Archives for more on the English Standard Version! I own two now - one in my bedroom and one in my living room! :-) For me, the ESV has taken its place as the translation that I use at my side for 'readability.' When a Christian uses the NASB for nearly everything, they are well served by having a handy, well-flowing and readable translation nearby. For me, this translation is unquestionably the ESV, which has all but became my most used Bible version in all my study. Only my NASBs get used more. I have given and continue to give the ESV my highest recommendations for study, memorization, readability, and worship. It has truly set a new standard, and has carried the legacy of the RSV to a much greater stature. Blessings to you, Makarios |
