In the SBC church I'm a member of, the Pastor's wife (who is a professor at the most prominent private Christian college) often fills in, when the need arises, in our adult Sunday School classes.

I usually like to eat something sweet after dinner, but I have something simple, like a small portion of peanut m&ms, for example.

I think this points to the fact that, more and more, many of our churches' most faithful attendees are of the female gender.

My employer recently sent me on a business trip to Nevada. The hotel they had me stay at had a very popular buffet. The price of the buffet was $46.99 per person. And the lines for the buffet were very long. No one complained about the price of the buffet. The cost of living in much of the...

I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the CSB matches up (when reading in parallel with) the ESV (my prior primary Bible translation of choice).

I believe the CSB is fine "when doing serious Bible studies."

I've noticed that the CSB (like the NIV) seems to use fewer words than other translations. I'd love to have a "word count" for both the CSB and the NIV!

Which isn't, necessarily, a bad thing.

I'll have to disagree with you on that. I'm finding the NASB (2020) to be an improvement, in many ways, over its predecessor.

I like the fact that the CSB is somewhat more "formal equivalence," so to speak, than the NIV.

Between the HCSB and the CSB, which do you prefer (overall)?

I believe the NKJV is a fine translation and, perhaps, even underrated.

On the other hand, I'm finding the NASB (2020) does a fine job of introducing gender inclusive language, without "going overboard."

I teach an adult Sunday School class at my local SBC. And the Sunday School materials utilize the CSB (no surprise). It's taken some time, but I'm becoming accustomed to using the CSB on a regular basis (for this very reason). And I can see, firsthand, that the gender inclusive language...

If a man was saved in 1962, and is still in the faith, that's a man I'm going to listen to. :)

I'm currently enjoying the CSB, since it seems to strike a balance between "formal" and "functional."

The Amplified Bible is Joyce Meyer's Bible translation of choice.

Yes, I'm coming around on the gender inclusive issue, myself.

I like the way that the CSB renders Psalm 19:5 ... "It is like a bridegroom coming from his home; It rejoices like an athlete running a course."

One thing I really like about the CSB is its "economy of words." This really helps with the "readability" factor.
