Teaching from theEnglish Standard Version

You may have noticed that the biblical text used during the Pastor’s message is taken from the English Standard Version. Maybe you’ve wondered why.

Pastor Graham made a decision to move from the New King James Version (NKJV) he had used for many years to focus his preaching from the English Standard Version (ESV). This adjustment comes as a result of Pastor Graham’s personal study and use of this new translation. The reason for such change is the balance of accuracy, clarity and readability found in the ESV.

The ESV “seeks as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer.” Rather than being a translation based on a “thought for thought” style, greater effort has been made to provide a translation that honors the grammar, words and sentence structures of both the original Hebrew or Greek and contemporary English languages. The result of this effort is a translation of accuracy and clarity that enhances understanding of biblical truth and honors the highest standards of biblical scholarship.

The ESV provides word-for-word precision and literary excellence for a biblical text that is both reliable and beautiful. If you would like to learn more about the ESV, please visit www.esv.org. You can also browse our website at prestonwoodbookstore.org or simply stop by one of the Prestonwood Bookstores to see and learn more about the English Standard Version.
