It follows in the tradition of the KJV with familiar and traditional wording of the text. I have used the ESV at times when I once used the KJV, such as funerals and when guest preaching at churches where many have the KJV.<BR/>Have you tried the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)? It is a completely new translation, faithful to the text and readable. The main difference between the HCSB and the ESV is that the HCSB is willing to depart from traditional translations, when an accurate translation of the text could be different from the traditional one (such as "stop fighting and know that I am God" in Psalm 46 or "through the darkest valley" in Psalm 23, or translating "Christ" as "Messiah" in the New Testament).Dr. Bob Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487895077204597740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11972174.post-1122989262293835572005-08-02T09:27:00.000-04:002005-08-02T09:27:00.000-04:00Scott,You uncovered my dastardly plot!Scott,<BR/><BR/>You uncovered my dastardly plot!Best Book Buyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628382292067661322noreply@blogger.com
