What is the difference betweenthe King James Version andEnglish Standard Version ofthe Bible?
I just started going to a baptist church and I was gived the Englis Standard Version Bible, but a lady at the church said I should get the King James Version, but I dont see the difference. Please help!
In all honesty, different translations of the Bible can give the reader different meanings to key verses. It's become a recent trend in many Protestant (primarily Baptist) belief systems that a recently discovered version of the KJV of the Bible is the definitive version of the Bible. If that's the case, though, they've been misinterpreting their own Bible for centuries.
Anyone familiar with EnglishStandard Version--How do yourate it?
What is the difference between a version and a translation? Which is more accurate? I think Living is very accurate in thought, but sometimes not literally as the language responds to the cultural differences of our time. I get that. However, Living Bible seems to capture the heart without compromise. I like it best of all. What do you say?
version/translation means pretty much the same....The NASB and the ESV are pretty much accepted as the two best...Living isn't a good translation...it is just paraphrased it loses a lot that way......NASB and ESV i would say are the two best the NASB is suppose to be the most word for word and the ESV is close to it but it flows better
English Standard Version vsNew Jerusalem Bible?
I'm on the ropes about which translation to order i've had an RSV bible for the longest time and finally decided to replace it since it's falling apart (I take it everywhere with me) but i can't decide between these two translations.
The NJB is my favorite, hands down - but here's some things for you to consider Note: more literal tends to be less accurate and less biased less literal tends to be more accurate and more biased http://www.bibleselector.com/l iteralness.html Note: a low reading level tends to be less precise http://www.bibleselector.com/r eading_level.html Note: conservative use of inclusive language is normally best http://www.bibleselector.com/i nclusive.html Passages: Gen 3:15 - should read "he or she" or "they" - not "he" Isa 7:14 - most scholars agree "virgin" is not best My (dated) review of the NJB http://www.jimpettis.com/bible s/njb.htm Bible Researcher reviews (this guy is biased toward conservative evangelical literal translations) http://www.bible-researcher.co m/new-jerusalem-bible.html http://www.bible-researcher.co m/esv.html books * one edition of ESV includes the English Protestant Apocrypha (EPA). All the rest of the ESV editions are 66-book bibles. * NJB includes entire Roman Catholic canon - 73 books, 3 less than the EPA http://www.bible-reviews.com/c harts_scriptures_d.html Perhaps if you told us exactly what you seek in a bible, we would be able to direct you without having to show all the differences Online http://www.catholic.org/bible/ http://www.esv.org/ Jim
