Which publishers of Baptist books sell their own translation? Which ones purchase the rights to quote another translation? Or quote the KJV or another public domain translation?
Years ago, most study Bibles and commentaries used a translation published by another publisher rather than their own in-house translation. Now most use an in-house translation.
Do any Baptist publishers use the ESV in their newer study Bibles and commentaries? How about the NIV, NLT, and NASB? How often is the KJV the primary translation quoted in a academic or expensive book?
I'm not asking about whether a translation is clunky, or even which manuscripts it is based on. I'm asking more about the business behind the books we read and how this is changing and how those changes affect the average Baptist.
