[Knitting A Conundrum]

I favor the old revised standard version myself, with peaks at the New American Standard and the Holman from time to time...I would like the NRSV if they didn't play inclusive language games. I even peak at the NKJV.

I do not like the NAB bible, because of the bad translations in places. Noticed when they did the translation of the Pope's encyclical, the translators also avoided the NAB, and mostly used the old Revised Standard version.

I don't like the NAB because it's CLUNKY. It limps, it lurches, it wades knee-deep in neologisms . . . it may be a species of spiritual pride, but I take my Douay-Rheims to Bible study because I can't stand the NAB. (My husband takes the old RSV for the same reason. . . )

. . . maybe BXVI is going to get rid of it? How delightful!
