Description

The most literally precise American translation of the Bible.

The American Standard Version (ASV) is the most literally precise American translation of the Bible. It represents the work of thirty leading scholars from a wide range of Protestant denominations and is based on a broader range of manuscripts than the KJV. The ASV was a base for several modern versions, including the RSV, the NASB, the Amplified Bible the World English Bible, and The Living Bible. The ASV is a valuable resource for anyone reading a modern translation who would like to have sense of the original Greek and Hebrew.

This edition is set in 10-point font, larger than most Bibles.
