WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BIBLE TRANSLATION? Brian Lewis at The Tennessean wants to know:

Briefly: What's your favorite Bible translation?

The Holman Christian Standard Bible was released this past week by Nashville-based Bible publisher Holman Bible Publishers. It's the culmination of a 20-year project and joins a very crowded field of Bible translations.

We want to know what your favorite version of Scripture is, whether it's the King James or NIV or other version. We're looking to hear not just from preachers, but also everyday people on which one works best for you and why.

E-mail your thoughts on your favorite renderings of the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts to religion reporter Brian Lewis at brlewis@tennessean.com, fax 259-8093 or put it in the mail to him at Brian Lewis, The Tennessean, 1100 Broadway, Nashville TN 37203.
