What is the New American Standard?
An Explanation of the NASB
The New American Standard Bible is the English translation
renowned for its consistent, word-for-word reading. To the
best of the translators' abilities, each word that the reader
reads is the exact equivalent in English of the original word
that the Hebrew or Greek writer recorded. Consequently,
the reading is slightly more difficult than translations with a
dynamic equivalence methodology.
The NASB project began in 1959 and was based on the American
Standard Version (1901). It was worked on and published by
the Lockman Foundation.
