My thoughts ESV vs NASB, after getting feedback, looking at online comparisons, textual deviation charts, and plain old reading from the two: My conclusion: AS FAR AS CT BASED BIBLES GO.......I feel the NASB is superior to the ESV. It is not as "pretty" in regard to the English, but it has an amazing fidelity to the Hebrew and Greek. Someone stated more Reformed Scholars worked on the ESV, TRUE! But, I feel the NASB team were (overall) fair and unbiassed with this in mind, and the overall accuracy, the Reformed position can be defended quite well from the NASB. In short, after some research, I feel the NASB edges out the ESV.
