So I’ve got this backend manager that makes links to the ESV
\nBible to make references easier to look up for folk. The script was made
\navailable by one of the professional mambrothers<\/a> and it is based on
\nScripturizer from Scott Yang<\/a>. Now, my dark admission…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don’t like the ESV. Okay, there. It’s out. My heresy is
\ncomplete. Now you have every right to group me with antinomians, KJV Onlyists
\nand Vegetarians.<\/p>\n

You see, for years I was a fan of the KJV then the NKJV then
\nI dabbled in the NIV and went back to the NKJV. During this final stage I would
\ncontinue my studies with several Bibles (still do) and the NASB translation became
\nmore and more my favorite.<\/p>\n

I found that when I’m reading a Greek-Word study guide the
\nNASB often comes closest to a one to one translation of the original text. Mind
\nyou, I’m no Greek linguist but I can appreciate that bit in my studies whereas
\nwhen I read the NIV or the NKJV or the KJV there is constant “fixing” to get my
\nthinking right with what the verse actually says.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately whenever I read the ESV I feel like I’m
\nreading the NIV again. Verses are sorta fuzzed out. Easier reading is placed
\nover better translation (don’t bother arguing this, I know even the NASB goes
\ndynamic on us). Oh it kills me when reading Romans 10 and 11.<\/p>\n

Anyway, come back tomorrow when Brother Russ continues his
\nseries on TULIPS with a focus on Irresistible Grace. His verses will be ESV
\nonly, no fault of his own.<\/p>\n

Update: What’s on My Desk? (HT: Rebecca<\/a> from Tim<\/a>)

\nBible Knowledge Commentary (Walvoord and Zuck)
\nChafer’s Systematic Theology
