“So Many Translations, So Little Time”

Peter at Beauty of the Bible writes about the many translations he’s read (and continues to read). Of the ESV, he writes:

I have found the ESV to be both highly accurate and highly readable. I am seriously considering making my ESV my bookbag Bible (it fits perfectly in the pocket). And, although I have never been to a church where the pastor preached from the ESV (that I know of), it seems that everyone has a pocket-sized ESV (in matching color of course) in a backpack or purse ready to whip out at a moment’s notice. You might as well get one too.

Concerning Peter’s comment about the recurring note on adelphoi, the word does get a couple of sentences in the ESV preface in addition to the note that appears eighty times in the New Testament.
