From the Preface of this book:

"Since all Christians agree on the importance of the Bible as a source of religious truth, there's no more important subject for them to be informed about than the accuracy and reliability of the book they turn to repeatedly for answers and guidance in their lives. Yet, surprisingly, while an enormous amount of energy is spent on the interpretation of the English words of modern Bibles, very little attention is given in public to assessing the quality of the translations themselves."

Note: I am not in any affiliated with the author nor any person nor organization associated with the publishing of this book; therefore, I have no financial incentive in sharing this.

The book examines the following nine English translations (in alpha order) based upon "bias" and "accuracy" (which the author goes into great detail to explain):

1. Amplified Bible (AB)
2. King James Version (KJV)
3. Living Bible (LB)
4. New American Bible (NAB)
5. New American Standard Bible (NASB)
6. New International Version (NIV)
7. New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
8. New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NW)
9. Today's English Version (TEV)

The reviews/comments at the Amazon link above alone are quite interesting... and the conclusions this author arrives at will shock many. Not a new book by any means (2003) but one that probably hasn't gotten the attention it certainly deserves.

I just finished reading it in about 4 days. Fascinating! I highly recommend for any Bible lover and/or truth seeker. A must have for your library. I'm in the process of acquiring the translations that I didn't already have.

Quite an eye-opener to say the least.
