5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the finest modern translations around,
By
This review is from: New American Standard Gift and Award Bible/Economy Edition/Burgundy/461453 (New American Standard Version) (Paperback)
While every modern translation of the Bible pales beside the King James Version in terms of poetic and literary merit, those who are reading Holy Writ more out of a spiritual need than an aesthetic need will find the KJV confusing and misleading (especially without a good knowledge of Elizabethian English).While there are many good modern translations available. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an excellent one. Like the King James Version this is a word-for-word translation rather than a meaning-by-meaning translation (Today's English Version) or a blend of the two (New International Version or New Jerusalem Version), providing the most accurate translation available. The "gift" version of the NASB I am reviewing (the burgendy hard cover) is much more of a pew Bible than a gift Bible. It has the look and feel of an old-fashioned, hardback book, and is easily transportable. The only drawback to this version that I have detected is a minor one: the red lettering is off center with the black lettering on pages where the two are combined. |
