The best translation
I am often asked which translation of the Bible is the best one to read today. My response is often “the one you most enjoy and read most often!” Formation of the Bible, page 141

Excellent advice! The truth is that most all of the translations out there today are good. I would quibble with some of the choices of all the translations—some translations more than others, but they are all adequate.
