New American Standard Bible
The New American Standard Bible did not start out as a complete Bible and was published in stages. The New Testament was first published in 1963 and the complete Bible was published in 1971.
As its name implies, the New American Standard Bible is a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. This translation was begun as an alternative to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible which is also a revision of the American Standard Bible. The New American Standard Bible is widely regarded as the most literally translated of 20th-century English Bible translations.
