Forthcoming Wide-Margin Bible Survey Update

My post surveying wide-margin Bible offerings has remained one of my most popular, still receiving multiple hits daily. Since it is now about a year old and a few new wide-margin Bibles have been released, I would like to update this information in a new post in the next few days.

Here's where you can help me. Take a look at the original post linked in the above paragraph. If you know of any new wide-margin Bibles that have been released, please leave the information in the comments below so I can include it.

Also, although I opted not to include KJV offerings last time, I occasionally get emails asking about KJV wide-margin Bibles. I still don't recommend the KJV as a primary study Bible, which is why I didn't list them last time. However, I am considering adding them to the new survey, so if you know of some specific KJV wide-margins out there, please let me know--especially if you can give descriptions of them.

1408

14082_large
I admit to liking a good supernatural suspense story on occasion, and I found 1408 to be quite the hair raiser. In this movie, based on a short story by Stephen King, John Cusack plays a writer named Mike Enslin. He's got talent, but he's got very little drive. Early in Mike's career, he wrote a very personal book seemingly based on his poor relationship with his father. But it lacked sales, and then personal tragedy (the death of his daughter) pushed him to write hack personal accounts debunking haunted hotels and bed and breakfasts. His personal appearances for autograph signings at bookstores result in low turnouts.

When Mike receives a mysterious postcard from the Dolphin Hotel in New York City with the simple message, "Don't stay in 1408," he is intrigued. He also notes that when the numbers in the room are added up (1+4+0+8), they equal 13. After calling to book a reservation, he's told that no one is allowed to stay in this room. Mike does a bit of research and discovers that 20 or so people have taken their own lives in 1408. Later he will find out the death toll is much higher--newspapers didn't report the 30 or so more deaths of supposed "natural" causes (heart attack, stroke, etc.). Using a little known Civil Rights law, Mike forces the manager of the Dolphin Hotel (played by Samuel L. Jackson) to let him stay in the room. Then hilarity ensues. Okay, hilarity is certainly not the right word. Substitute horror.

Really, I don't want to give away anymore of the movie. I realize that only a small fraction of those reading this will actually go see it. However, the experience in the hotel room is a roller coaster ride that won't be soon forgotten. Cusack is a very talented actor. He's about a year older than me, and watching his performance in Better Off Dead when I was a teenager made me immediately connect to him, something that has lasted to this day. I've even suffered through the occasional romantic comedy that Kathy often wants to see if he's in it. Of course 1408 is no romantic comedy. But it does put Cusack into a role a bit different from his other performances. Probably about 2/3 of the movie takes place in room 1408 and Cusack has the entire screen only to himself. The only two characters are Cusack's and then the room itself. Few actors could pull that kind of performance off, but Cusack does it well and we get to see emotions from him that very few of his other films ever do.

Pasted Graphic
Although Samuel L. Jackson garners half of the movie poster, he's only in the movie for a very short period of time. I suppose that the role of the manager could have been played by any working actor, but Jackson's casting creates a character that exhibits both authority and distrust at the same time.

The movie keeps the audience guessing up to the last minute. Is the room really haunted? Or is Enslin dreaming? Or has he been drugged? Is he having a mental breakdown? Just when you think you know, you find out that you don't know. 1408 is not quite on the same level as King and Kubrick's The Shining, which is of similar genre. However, it's a fun thrill ride with a few genuinely scary moments. It will certainly keep your attention--if you're brave enough to enter.

ESV Comparison Backlash??

Pasted Graphic

Anyone following this blog knows that I've been posting changes between the 2001 and 2007 editions of the ESV over the last few days. A few hours ago I finished with the Old Testament and over the next two or three days I will cover the New Testament and in doing so complete the entire Bible.

I've been able to compare the editions simply because OakTree Software released the Accordance etext of the 2007 edition as a separate module, listed simply as ESV-SE (SE standing for "second edition"). Previous purchasers of the ESV module could pay $10 to download the update. Over the weekend, in a surprising turn of events, the ESV-SE module has been withdrawn from the Accordance website, and now an update to the original 2001 module has been released that will update it to the 2007 edition. Those of us who paid for the update last week have been told we will receive a credit on our next order. According to the Accordance forum, the release of a separate module was "due to a misunderstanding."

Now I find all of this very interesting, and pardon me if the importance of This Lamp is exaggerated in my own mind, but I have to wonder if any of my posts from the last week created part of the problem. Let me back up a minute and offer a brief history of the events related to this extremely minor controversy.

Last year, when it first became evident that Crossway was planning to update the ESV, I and a number of others received word that the changes were minor (they are) and some kind of list would be made available as to what these changes between editions were.

Then, to the consternation of many, Crossway and/or the Standard Bible Society changed their minds on the issue and decided not to release a list of changes.

Last Fall, the first part of the new revision of the ESV was released in the form of the The English-Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament, a join project between Crossway and Logos Bible Software. I bought a copy of the Reverse Interlinear and did my best to produce a list of changes that I could find. It was a very short list indeed, but it can still be read: "Truth Unchanged Not Changed that Much: A Preliminary Survey of Updates to the ESV New Testament." What amazed me at the time--given all the criticisms of the ESV as holding over too much baggage from the RSV and feeling like a project that was rushed to market--was that the revision wasn't more extensive considering there had been half a decade to improve the version.

Earlier this year, upon hearing that OakTree Software was working on the update to the ESV for Accordance, I requested through email correspondence that they keep the update as a separate module so that the two editions could be listed side-by-side using the wonderful comparison feature in Accordance.

On May 24, I received an email from OakTree stating, "We have come up with a solution which should work all around. The new ESV edition will be a $10 upgrade and will have a slightly different name. Installing it will not overwrite the older version, so you will be able to run both in parallel." This was a perfect solution. Granted the texts are publicly published, but finding the differences between them without the aid of a computer would certainly be a chore. So if Crossway didn't want to disclose the changes, at least we could hunt them down ourselves using Accordance.

Now one has to wonder why Crossway and the Standard Bible Society would be so secretive about the changes in the two editions. But the reality is that they were so secretive that they wouldn't even offer a list of changes to OakTree, but forced the Accordance engineers to prep a brand new etext for use in the software--something that was much more time consuming and expensive than it would have been simply to have a list of the changes and apply them to the earlier module.

A week ago, on June 17, OakTree released the ESV-SE module for an upgrade price of $10 or $30 for new users. I bought my copy of the update early last week and began running comparisons of the 2001 and 2007 editions and publishing the results here on my blog.

As I've been comparing the texts, I've come across errors in both the 2001 module and 2007 module and have been dutifully reporting these back to OakTree as I've found them. Yet tonight after sending in a few errors I found in the 2001 text (which you'll remember was kept as a separate module all of last week), I received an email instructing me with the following: "Since the new ESV is now what was the ERSV-SE, there is no point is sending corrections to the old ESV module. Please just send any you find on the ESV-SE or the version 2 of the ESV. See the notice on the Forum and News page."

I had no idea that there had been any kind of change. But sure enough, upon checking the Accordance website, the ESV-SE module has been removed, and now an update has been posted that will replace a user's original 2001 ESV module with the 2007 edition. The update is now free, in spite of a statement last week that a $10 charge had been placed on the ESV-SE module to cover the cost of prepping the three modules (text, notes, and cross references) for the ESV-SE.

A statement has been made on both the Accordance Blog and the Accordance Forums that:

Due to a misunderstanding, last week we released the updated ESV as a separate second edition, following the model we had used for the New Living Translation. We now understand that Crossway prefers that this update replace the original ESV rather than considering it a second edition. This means that the original and updated ESV can no longer be viewed in parallel and compared using the Text Compare feature.


Well, they can still be viewed in parallel on this user's MacBook, because I still have both modules. However, after I finish publishing the changes in the New Testament, I'll probably go ahead and update my modules. Otherwise I would never be able to get updates to the text as it's improved. However, if anyone really wants to keep both versions--assuming the ESV-SE module was purchased--the text from the 2001 edition could be exported to text and then re-imported creating a custom user Bible.

Of course, I really can't imagine why anyone would want to do this. Again, the changes are not that significant. Obviously, Crossway contacted OakTree asking them to remove the separate module. But why? Is it because the comparison is embarrassing to them? Is it because it supports my contention that the 2001 edition was rushed and changes from the RSV were not as extensive as they could have and should have been?

Yes, there are mistakes in the 2001 version, but these are forgivable--especially by diehard ESV aficionados. And I can't see how sales could be hurt by the comparisons. First of all, the ESV is going gangbusters in sales, incredibly hitting the #3 spot on the CBA list for June. And second, in my opinion, the only thing my comparisons can do for Crossway is to encourage ESV users to go out and get the new edition, thus increasing their sales even more.

So I don't know what the big deal is. There was a separate Accordance module that allowed for comparisons with the original. So what? In the end, by blog has the potential to reach more people with the changes than the software did. My blog is accessible to anyone who runs a search on Google for "ESV changes."

And I get a lot of these very hits, and have ever since my posts last year.

2007 ESV Changes: Isaiah - Malachi

This post closes out the changes in the Old Testament between the 2001 and 2007 editions of the ESV. Originally, I was going to have separate posts for the Major and Minor prophets, but the few number of alterations in the Minor Prophets didn't really warrant a separate entry.
