Analysis

Preliminary Review

Analysis of this version is not complete. Please use the excellent links below to assist in your evaluation of this version.

The good:

Nothing obvious at first glance

The bad:

Tetragrammaton translated as Lord
No deutero-canonical texts available
Retains “classic theological terms”1 found in the KJV rather than striving for a more accurate and modern translation
No study edition

The rest:

Claims to provide a literal translation.
A revision of the RSV rather than a new translation
More color options than an automobile
