Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Over the course of more than 50 years of study, I have used nearly every available version and translation of the Bible. While there are features from other editions that I enjoy, there is no more accurate translation than the New American Standard Bible. That is why I have used it as my primary teaching tool in the pulpit for more than 20 years. I am excited to join The Lockman Foundation in creating the In Touch Ministries Edition of the NASB." Dr. Charles Stanley

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good (but not great) book, October 18, 2001

By 

William E.Bomboy (Norcross, Ga) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New American Standard Bible (In Touch Ministries Wide Margin) (Hardcover)

As another reviewer stated, there are quality problems. I sent 3 back before One met my standards (no folded and wrinkled pages)The paper is slightly heavier than regular bible paper though I wouldn't extensively use a roller ball for notes.I would call this a semi-wide margin ,not a true one ,in the sense of the Cambridge Wide Margin. Although it may sound silly, the cover on the Top Grain Cowhide version is the real selling point ,it's what you always thought a bible should feel and look like, soft, limp, and very comfortable in the hand, almost from another era. The interior is typical of Foundation, clean crisp text (with no references in this style) a decent concordance and some average quality maps. It comes with a black velvet case which is nice but ho-hum. I think that for this kind of money a couple of small upgrades should be in order like art gilt edges (red under gold) and perhaps classier packaging and someone who would take responsibility for quality control in the printing process.

4.0 out of 5 stars NAS bible, June 14, 2009

This review is from: New American Standard Bible (In Touch Ministries Wide Margin) (Hardcover)

Print size is great, but it is lacking in cross references to other Bible passages. Still, I like this version. The NAS is the most literal translation from the Hebrew and Greek.
