Subject: Why the NKJV over the NASB ? |
Bible Note: Huron, Thanks for your good post. You write: 'there is a concern about the newer translations being a "change" from the KJV. Secondly, I think that the NKJV is advertised more than the NASB.' Agreed. And thirdly, not only is the NKJV advertised more, it appears that it is relatively easy to get permission to use the NKJV as the text of various study and niche (specialized market) Bibles. Such, it seems, has not been the case with the NASB, which is the text of far fewer such Bibles. Also, speaking only for myself, the NASB is not at all wooden or clumsy to one who has been reading the KJV for more than 50 years. :-) Grace to you, Kalos |
