NASB New Testament on Cassette

The New American Standard Bible is a revision of the American Standard Version (1901). It was produced by a company of conservative scholars who wished to provide a literal and conservative revision of the ASV. It incorporates recent discoveries of Hebrew and Greek textual sources and renders the ASV into more current English. It is highly recommended for those who are interested in serious Bible study. It preserves the highly literal character that had made the American Standard Version so useful as a translation for close study. The NASB deliberately interprets the Old Testament from a Christian standpoint, in harmony with the New Testament.

The publication of the New American Standard Bible began with the Gospel of John in 1960, followed by the four Gospels in 1962, the New Testament in 1963, and the entire Bible in 1971. The Greek edition used by the NASB revisers was the 23rd edition of the Nestle text.

The NASB was widely accepted by conservative churches in the years following its publication. But, it was often criticized for its awkward and unnatural English. This was a consequence of the version's strict adherence to the idioms of the original languages, whether or not they were natural in English. In general, the words of Charles Spurgeon regarding the English Revised Version (the British counterpart of the ASV) might also be said of the NASB — "Strong in Greek, but weak in English." For this reason, many people used the NASB on cassette only for reference when doing close study, while using other more "readable" versions for other purposes.
