Have anyone had any experience with the WEB translation? What are your thoughts on it?
Yeah, I've only scanned through it myself. I did a comparing of John 1 with WEB, ESVUK, NKJV and NRSVA. It seems fine, though it stands out a little in that it doesn't repeat "he", but uses "the same"
John 1 WEB;ESVUK;NKJV;NRSVA - In the beginning was the Word, and the - Bible Gateway
While I prefer ESVUK, I'm a little interested in the WEB translation is as it's copyright-free. Thanks, @Dave-W for explaining that it's an update of the ASV - that gets a little easier to compare.
These all good translations. Have you tried the Lutheran EHV? I think it's even better.
Let's check your favorite verses:I looked at that and I still think I like the ESVUK better.
I'm not familiar with it.What do you think of the AKJV? I like the reverence and dignity it shows in religious language.

I assumed the comment was about the American KJV, which was placed into the public domain on November 8, 1999.I believe it is just another term for the "Authorized King James Version", the standard KJV/KJB. Correctr me though if I am wrong @Brigid63 .
What is your experience with the Artscroll Tanach?sometimes I have a hard time actually getting into the content compared to ESV or NRSV. I mix in the Artscroll tanak for another perspective on the OT as well.
Ah, my mistake - I am not familiar with that version.I assumed the comment was about the American KJV, which was placed into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
I like it a lot, Artscroll does a good job and the commentary by Rashi is nice. I find it adds good insight to the Jewish perspective for me. I come more recently from being involved in Messianic Judaism, so it is natural to look at that perspective too.What is your experience with the Artscroll Tanach?
It's probably not online. I like Jewish perspective, especially Messianic Jews. I regularly read the Messianic CJB and TLV online side-by-side with other translations.I like it a lot, Artscroll does a good job and the commentary by Rashi is nice.

I like it and keep it in my weekly Bible reading set along with the ESV and NRSV. There is no doubt the language is lovely, but sometimes I have a hard time actually getting into the content compared to ESV or NRSV.

Brilliant. I bookmarked the site. Thank you very much.Not Arscroll exactly, but Chabad has the Tanach online with Rashi's commentary, so very close: The Complete Tanakh (Tanach) - Hebrew Bible - The Jewish Bible with a Modern English Translation and Rashi's Commentary
I love David Stern's CJB. His theology and choice of English expressions are impeccable. I think other / newer translations incorporate some of his word choices.I like the CJB, it is a good translation too. The Messianic Synagogue I have been to uses the CKB and TLV more or less interchangeably. I prefer the CJB between the two personally.
The AKJV is the American King James Version
AKJV - American King James Version
As far as I know, this is only available online and it has never been printed.
The Authorized Version is the original King James Bible (AV not = AKJV).
