Bible Note: Why was the NASB Updated? (Quoted from: A Look at the New American Standard Bible Spotlight Ministries, Vincent McCann, 1998 www.spotlightministries.org.uk) 'In 1995 the Lockman Foundation published the 'NASB Update'. As the name suggests, this is not actually a new version but rather a revision. The Foundation felt that because 25 years had passed since the appearance of the NASB it was in need of bringing more up to date. Updating included the following: removing the words thee and thou, consulting the newest scholarly editions of ancient Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic, and removing some of the idiosyncrasies found in the ancient languages that do not conform to English grammar. Some of these words were replaced with more modern equivalents and some sentences were rearranged to make them more understandable in English. Although the NASB Update is more fluid than its predecessor, it still remains as literal as possible, and while not good for public reading it is a good Bible for serious Bible study.' ____________________ (Source: A Look at the New American Standard Bible Spotlight Ministries, Vincent McCann, 1998 www.spotlightministries.org.uk) |
