For several years now I have tried to find out which bible translation was best for me. I have tried both cheap bibles and pricey ones and I feel like I have finally come upon the one that makes the most sense to me. it fits my personality the ideal and it seems to be the one that talks most easily to me and so that I can comprehend. Does that make sense? I hope so. It was a struggle if you really want to know which is best for you because there are lots of things to balance. I mean from a language stand point there will be certain ones that will make the most sense but you also need to study the style of translation and see if it really stays true to what you find most practical in your history. Then too is how long you’ve been studying any sort of bible at all. That will make a large difference in terms of if you can make a judgment at all. Do you’ve any basis to begin from? Let me tell you the ones that I compared first. That will give you some idea how much work I put into this and to what degree I went to in order to make my decision. I first went full force into the living bible. In all its modern language and interpretations. That was just not me. There were several that I found to be truer to what I had grown accustomed to, The King James Bible. That is the one I was really comparing all the others to. How did they compare? Was the language too different? Were the stories too different and in fact did it seem changed in other ways. The ones that I ended up really looking at closely were the NASB Bible (The New American Standard Bible), the RSV Bibles (The Revised Standard Version) and then finally the NRSV Bibles (The New Revised Standard Version). These are all wonderful works and I would not really select to make a distinction for anyone else but for me the NASB Bible is my favorite.
