superior to tghe revision, same way [rior Nas
Oh, yes, it's perfectly fine to place the 1984 edition on your list! ;)
And your list agrees with my list, albeit I include the KJV on mine. :)
The 1984 Niv superior to the revision, likewise the prior Nas versions superior to latest revision!

Yes, think 1978, and then 1984 revision, then 2005. and finally 2011!
The NLT : 1996, 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2015.

On the American side of the Atlantic :
ASV :1901, 1929, 1952, 1971, 1989

That's one line. Then there is the other line based on the 1901 :
1977, 1995, 2001 and 2020.

Revisions galore!

A friend of mine who pastors a reformed SBC church in Myrtle Beach likes the 1984 over the 2011, and doesn’t seem to be a fan of the 2011. Another friend of mine who pastors a reformed Baptist church in Kentucky thinks the 2011 is a huge upgrade over the 1984. So, I guess it’s the old adage, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
That guy from Kentucky sounds really smart....I think he is right. [emoji38]

ASV 1901.
Who is 1928?.
1952 and 1971 RSV.
1989 NRSV.

Which goes back to the Revised Version.
Which goes back to the KJV.
Which goes back to the Bishops Bible, Geneva Bible, Great Bible, Matthews Bible, Coverdales Bible, William Tyndales pioneering, Original Transitions.

The only thing I can think of from 1928 is the Book of Common Prayer. Coverdale's Translation?

No. Goodspeed or maybe a modern language bible or something long out of print. Some minor translation. Suppose to be a continuation of the ASV somehow, or a revision of it.

Perhaps this one?

1924. Helen Barrett Montgomery, The Centenary Translation of the New Testament. Philadelphia: The American Baptist Publication Society, 1924. A Baptist revision of the American Standard Version (1901), called "centenary" because it was published in commemoration of the centenary of the American Baptist Publication Society

20th Century English Versions

I think you're right. It's just that the year was 1924, not 1928.

Overall, I would say (as a general principle) that just about any Bible translation that adheres to a philosophy of "formal equivalence" is going to fall into my column labeled "favorites."
