    No, as many would see it went much to far into inclusive language!

    Wonder why Lockman just did not decide to put time and money into the lsb instead of going their 2020 route?

    Yes, think 1978, and then 1984 revision, then 2005. and finally 2011!

    Think that they allowed the Lsb to do their work, but marketing and money was into the edition

    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!

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

    Which goes back to the Revised Version.

    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."
