I almost put this as a link in a “More Cool Bible Stuff” post, but it deserves much more attention than that. It’s too funny.
Wayne Leman at the Better Bibles Blog has reprinted Why the English Standard Version (ESV) should not become the Standard English Version by Mark Strauss. It is definitely worth reading, [...]

I just recently acquired an Oxford University Press Scofield Study Bible (KJV). It is black bonded leather with the 1917 notes. It’s really quite lovely.

It has been one week since I received my New Living Translation Study Bible from the NLT Bible Giveaway, and I want thank Tyndale and the NLT Blog for the free NLT Study Bible.
Before I get into the meat of this post, I want to repent of my earlier prejudice against the New Living Translation. [...]
