Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely acclaimed as “the most literally accurate translation” from the original languages. This version is considered to be the most literal translation of the Bible in the English language, consistently following the oldest and best manuscripts. It has been further revised and updated in a new 1995 translation.
