About International Standard VersionThe International Standard Version embodies the best results of modern scholarship as to the meaning of Scripture, and expresses this meaning in clear and natural English. It is intended for liturgical and pulpit uses as well as for devotional reading, Bible study, and reading in the home. The ISV is a moderately literal translation, seeking to avoid the paraphrasing tendencies of some modern versions. It seeks a compromise between formal equivalence and functional equivalence by attempting to stay as close to the source text as possible without losing its ability to communicate. Purposefully avoiding slang, national colloquialisms, or confusing regionalisms, the ISV is truly an international Bible version. Subtle nuances of the original languages stand out with a crystal clarity that will astonish you. For example, poetic passages such as Philippians 2:6-11 and Titus 3:4-7 have been painstakingly crafted as true poems. The result: you can actually feel the undistorted sense of the original literary form insightfully rendered in clear English. The International Standard Version conveys the thoughts, intents, and words of the original text of the Bible in language you and your family can understand, appreciate, and apply to your life today. |
