American Standard Version (Byzantine Text with Apocrypha) (ENGASVB)

Overview

The American Standard Version: Byzantine Text with Apocrypha is a 2021 public domain edition edited by Rev. Robert Adam Boyd, an ordained minister with an M.Div. from Fuller Seminary who also served as a linguist and translator with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea. [1] The underlying American Standard Version was itself the American edition of the Revised Version, with its New Testament published in 1900 and the complete Bible in 1901; it was prepared by an American Revision Committee organized in 1871 under Philip Schaff, incorporating American preferences distinct from the English Revised Version (1881–1885), and it entered the public domain on January 1, 1957. In this edition the New Testament replaces the Westcott-Hort critical text basis of the original ASV with Robinson and Pierpont's "The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2018." [1] The Apocrypha section was adapted from the English Revised Version, Brenton's Septuagint translation, and G. Buchanan Gray's translation, including all books from the NRSV and Rahlfs-Hanhart Septuagint plus 3 & 4 Maccabees, Psalm 151, and the Book of Odes. [1]
