A Bible translation often obtains favor only in a narrow circle within the church and or in certain denominational groups. It seems from the internet that a broader spectrum of Christians are being drawn to the ESV from different backgrounds. Are you encouraged by that?

As far as the ESV and the Internet is concerned, one of the things I’ve been very encouraged about is the publisher’s willingness to share it. If you’re a nonprofit organization, if you have a website up, that wants to allow people to look at verses, the publisher’s been really good at giving free access to the ESV. It’s encouraging because it is God’s Word. And while it costs a tremendous amount of money to produce a translation, the publisher does understand that it is God’s Word and has done a wonderful job at making it available for nonprofit websites.
