My Honest Reaction and Opinion

Good Readable Word for Word Translation

I actually prefer the King James because it is more referred to (more quoted and used in studies), but the New American Standard Bible is also a word for word translation, completed in 1971 by a team of over 50 evangelical scholars with doctorates in Bible languages. I sought out this version as a supplement. Sometimes I find it refreshing to read other translations of the Bible to keep my interest fresh. Other good translations also make excellent cross references.

New American Standard Bible

Perfect size, nice and simple, great translation, nice concordance in the back. Accessible, convenient, overall just what I was looking for. Color is not obnoxious like I thought it might be.
