To do serious study does not necessarily mean going to a more form-oriened translation. Anyone can use a formally equivalent version but should have a less form-oriented one also to compare.
The NKT is not as dynamic as the NLT,and certainly not in any way similiar to The Message.

There was a huge row,which resulted in them splitting up.

16:37 : No way! Let them come themselves and take us out.
17:34 : whipping up the crowd.
19:24 : which brought the workmen a tidy income.
19:40 : there is no reason we could give which would enable us to present a satisfactory explanation for this uproar.
20:1 : after the hue and cry had died down
maybe not british, but doesn't read like how they would have actually said it!

So you would approve a version that reads and sounds like an updated Livving bible to us?

You don't know what you are saying. The NKT is a mediating translation such as the NET,HCSB,NAS,ISV,NJB and NIV. From the past,the old Norlie,Modern Language Bible etc. were right in the same ballpark.
