There is a survey going on SermonAudio asking the question, which verison of the Bible do you use? [7,637 voted at the time of this posting] Just thought I post it. Any thoughts?

In another survey we find that:

• Presbyterian.
21% | 863 votes

• Methodist.
2% | 85 votes

• Baptist.
50% | 2,016 votes

• Other.
25% | 1,031 votes

• No answer. Skip this survey, I do not care to vote on this topic.
2% | 61 votes

With 4,055 votes.

Do you think the reason for the high use of the AV in the first survey is linked with Baptists denominations?

Not sure what that means, but I can agree with the last statement.

In a recent month, the following Bible sales were reported by the CBA . . .

KJV
NIV
NCV
NKJV
NLT
ESV
HCSB
NASB
The Message
Reina Valera

I cannot understand the popularity of the NCV. At least the ESV and HCSB are still in the top 10. Note, however, that monthly totals are incredibly sensitive to flukes like a new study Bible coming out in a particular translation.
