Mark Strauss on the ESV & Literal Translation

Update: In the years since, the Bible Bibles Blog has come to an end and is no longer visible or available online. Thankfully because the site was so popular, the majority of its contents are available on Archive.org. We have updated the links below to the Archive.org versions of the BetterBibles.com in order that readers can still benefit from the content.

Wayne Leman has been given permission from Mark Strauss to post his ETS paper on the ESV on the Better Bibles Blog. Its definitely worth your time if you’re interested in English Bible translation.

Unlike the NLT, where Tyndale provided a complete list of the changes, the only reason this record exists is because of the work of Rick Mansfield.
