Subject: Why the NKJV over the NASB ? |
Bible Note: Cheri - I know of no cogent reason on earth why your newly acquired NASB could not co-exist in perfect harmony with your King James Bible. Mine have lived side by side on my bookshelf for years, and to my knowledge they are the best of friends. I've never known them to misbehave, or treat one another unkindly, or ever to have a serious disagreement between themselves. Each has his own unique way of expressing himself, the venerable King James Bible tending to wax more eloquent perhaps but with no more fidelity to the text than the New American Standard Bible. Both have a high view of Scripture and both do justice to the ancient manuscripts which they prize so highly. Both have taken great pains to render into the English tongue a transparency of the ancient Scriptures. I hope you enjoy your NASB! --Hank |
