Hi all!
It's been quite some time since I've been on here. Hope everyone is doing well. As some of you may know, I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to Bible Translations and other Text related issues. Upon looking on the web a couple weeks ago, I came across a very shocking discovery. There is new 2021 revision of the old American Standard Version (ASV) from 1901! This was just released this month. This completely took me by surprise as I've figured the ASV was looooong gone and forgotten. I've always had a favorable opinion of the ASV as it was truly a highly literal English translation and I found it to be quite helpful in many regards despite the use of "Jehovah" in many places in the Old Testament or the Elizabethan English carried over from the KJV.
This new revision seems to preserve a lot of what made the original ASV so great while updating the language and utilizing the latest OT and NT manuscripts. This new revision is officially abbreviated as the UASV
I would love to hear your thoughts regarding this new revision. I have provided a link for your view pleasure in case you haven't seen it. You can view it here.
I look forward to some very insightful dialogue!
Grace and Peace.
