The Unused American Standard Book of scriptures (NASB) is an English interpretation of the Book of scriptures by the Lockman Foundation.

The NASB was distributed within the taking after Gospel of John (1960) The Accounts (1962) New Confirmation (1963) Psalms (1968) Complete Book of scriptures, Ancient and Modern Confirmations (1971) Modified Versions (1972, 1973, 1975, 1977) Updated Version (1995) In parallel with the Book of scriptures itself, the NAS Thorough Concordance of the Book of scriptures was distributed in Admirable 1997.

I had a goal, way back in college, to read through the Bible 100 times by the age of 50.
This is number 89.
For a while, I thought this goal had fallen out of reach, maybe. Maybe not. Whether I hit it or not, I hope the value I put on this book can be told through the attempt. In a far more important way, what I value is not even the book itself but the impact that the Bible has had on my life.
This is supposed to be a "review" of the book, but what right do I or any of us have to do so? What we should instead do is let the Bible "review" us. Is it changing us? Are we living up to the commands and dictates found in these pages? I know that I have a long, long way to go. But hopefully, with each time through, and with each daily reading, I become just a little bit more like him. Day by day, glory to glory, I pray that I am reflecting Him just a little bit better.
this is my favorite translation, specifically the 1995 edition. i own a 1977 as well and i enjoy the archaic prayers, but i dislike the 2020 release since they mass edited nearly everything to be "gender accurate," AKA changing masculine references to humanity (e.g. he who sins) to neutral ones (e.g. they who sin). i have absolutely no problem with this alone, but i don't think they approached it carefully, and as a result distorted the intention of some verses. one of my biggest peeves is matthew 4:18-19. in the NASB1995, the verses read:
"(18) ... He saw two brothers ... casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. (19) And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”"
the NASB2020 changes this to "fishers of people," entirely ruining the wordplay intended by the original author and removing the structural beauty of that verse. this is just one example among many showing how their mass edit unintentionally altered passages in meaningful ways, but it's unfortunate because i would have loved the most up-to-date version of this translation as my primary bible
