    The Lockman Foundation is now backing away from the nas being the most literal translation, as now heading more into the inclusive language of the Csb and Niv!

    Lockman seems to be attempting to veer now off into more of the position of the Csb and the Niv!

    All 3 of them seem to now be in the same camp

    The Lockman Foundation has not backed away, they are moving forward.

    The CSB and NIV are still in the mediating camp, while the NASB is in the more formal end of the spectrum.

    Politics has nothing to do with Bible translations. The charts (which vary considerably) have the more form-oriented translations toward the left and the more functionally equivalent ones toward the right.

    The CSB, NIV and NET occupy the central ground. The NASBs (both the 1995 and 2020 editions) are to the left of the mediating versions.

    A few of you are confused. The charts usually have the mediating translations in the center . That is, the CSB, NIV, NET, NAB, NJB etc. The more formal translations are on the left side of the charts. Those would include the NASB, NKJV etc. And the freer ones like the CEV, GNT etc. are to the far right.

    Due to its lack of gender inclusive language I think I'll be checking out the NKJV, next.

    You must not be as familiar with it as you said. If you had read some 131 footnote alternatives that may one day be put in the text you would rail against it; as is your habit.

    Since you are going retro, check out the first and second Wycliffe N.T. translations. You will get so much exclusionary language that it will tickle your heart.
