As a new user, I was very pleasantly surprised and encouraged by the non-combative responses on this extremely volatile subject! Now for my 2 cents worth. I have recently returned to the KJV, and I am beginning to appreciate it a whole lot, which I did not in the past. One of the reasons is that I have recently completed an excellent 500-page book on this subject called, 'While Men Slept,' by Kerby Fannin. A real eye-opener. I also like very much the NKJV, and think it is very well done, except it appears that changes occur in the text without Nelson's acknowledging same. Unfortunately, there are presently 'zilch' quality editions available. I love the ESV, and would have no prob with this becoming the 'standard' Bible. Unfortunately, Crossway Bibles are crap. Almost, if not just as shoddy as Nelson.I enjoy the ASV of 1901, but I do not enjoy 'Jehovah' in the OT. I have never trusted the NIV. I have a gazillion of them at home, but I never get very far with it, cuz something just puts me off with the NIV.
