When it comes to Bible study, I look for a translation that accurately reflects the original language. When it comes to devotional reading, I appreciate freer translations such as the Message or the New Living translation.

ReplyDeleteBeing accurate to the original language is most important to me as well. Especially if you think of how much one wrong word could change the meaning of a sentence or much more.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the gender neutral Bibles for this reason. But, at the same time, for daily reading (or listening in my case), I do like the NRSV. It is gender neutral, but not so much that it is over done to wipe out any hint of the original word being masculine.
