Peter Lopez has written a “better late than never” response to my post on the authority of Bible translations:
What Makes a Bible Translation Authoritative? My Top Five
After a good discussion with several links worth checking out, Peter comes to the conclusion that “the only Bible translation that is in the top five in terms of sales [...]
The most significant version of the Bible today is not the REB. And neither is it the KJV. Or the ESV or TNIV, or even the NLT. No, the most significant version of the Bible today is The Message by Eugene Peterson.
I’ve been reading the first few chapters of Fee and Strauss’ “How to Choose [...]
I just bought my very first copy of the KJV translation…
Henry Neufeld takes a brief look at a wide swath of study Bibles in a recent post comparing introductory material to the Gospel of Luke. Study Bibles he reviews include:

Oxford Study Bible (REB)
New Oxford Annotated Bible (N/RSV)
Holy Spirit Encounter Bible (NLT1)
New Interpreter’s Study Bible (NRSV)
NLT Study Bible (NLTse)

I was very curious to hear Gary’s thoughts on both the study Bible and the NLT text [...]
Crossway has published an excerpt from Ezekiel from the upcoming ESV Study Bible, including notes from the opening section that I previously looked at for the NLT Study Bible.
Be sure to check out the PDF link to read the introductory material from the ESV - as with all of these new study Bibles, there is [...]
Coming up on two weeks ago, a package from Tyndale arrived just as we were finishing up packing for a weekend away with friends in northern Minnesota. Needless to say, my planned reading was left on the shelf (sorry Greg Boyd!) and the new NLT Study Bible (NLTSB) went with me. I had planned to [...]
First, a huge “thank you” to the team at Tyndale for providing me with a review copy of the NLT Study Bible (NLTSB) to look at and post about.
