Bible Question: What is the most accurate translation of the Bible in the English language that is not as hard to read as the KJV? |
Bible Answer: The NASB is "still the most accurate translation of the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures available." --Dr. Paige Patterson "I believe the NASB is the most accurate translation thus far." --Dr. Charles Stanley ____________________ NASB Endorsements "I want to know God's Word in the deepest and richest ways possible. I use the Updated NASB for all my personal study, since it is so close to the original text." Joseph Stowell President, Moody Bible Institute "The New American Standard Bible has two enormous advantages.

Pastor Robert C. Lane First Presbyterian Church, Madison, MS. "The New American Standard Bible honors the words of Christ - "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away."
