Stephen,

How do you arrive at this conclusion, or what do you mean by the statement?

Cordially,

Thomas
I would imagine that he means that the ESV purports to be in the Tyndale-King James tradition and one in a series of revisions that include the RV, ASV and RSV. Of course many will disagree with that to varying degrees, from the textual issue to other issues. On the other hand the NIV made no such claims and explicitly stated that it was a new translation and not a revision of any existing version.
