The Christian Bible Alphabet Soup: ASV, CSB, CEB, ERV, ESB, GNT, KJV, NKJV, NIV, NLT, NRSV….

I have always wondered about the many, many translations of the Bible. Why so many? How are they different? So I spent some time researching this to satisfy my curiosity. Since I spent a considerable amount of time collecting this information, I thought others might find it interesting as well. As of September 25, 2019 I added brief information about the Open English Bible (no restrictive copyrights). And so here it is: A Brief Christian Bible Textual History (pdf)
