Are there two editions of the ESV? Today I had up 1 Cor 10:1-13 through Proclaim. The first few words of vs 1 were different than what everybody had in their bibles.

    Are there two editions of the ESV?

    Bibles undergo changes every now & then. This is true for the ESV. Sometimes the changes are considered "major" and the translators/publishers make a distinction between two "editions" (i.e. NIV84 vs. NIV11). In this case, this was considered a "minor" change. All new versions of the ESV reflect the changes, including your copy on Logos.

    FYI - I believe if you look on youtube for DA Carson & ESV, you will find a video about this verse.

    EDIT: I was remembering incorrectly. The video can be found HERE. The person who showed me the video was Dr. Wayne A. Grudem (I was attending a symposium on the work of Bible translation.)

    I believe that part of the reason is that we are all under the cloud. Thanks mircosoft.

    Wikipedia has an ESV article => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Standard_Version that mentions revisions in 2007 and 2011 so the ESV currently has three editions.

    For awhile, the High Definition New Testament: ESV had the older 2007 ESV text, but the resource was updated in Nov 2012.

    Have not updated Libronix 3 library so can see two ESV editions with different text in 1 Corinthians 10

    In Logos there are two copyright dates given in the introduction: 2001 and 2011

    Logos updated the ESV last year to the 2011 version.  [from the 2007 version?]

    EDIT:[note to self - don't take so long looking something up - you keep getting beat]

    I wonder if there is a place to show the differences. I am ok with changes, but would like to have the option of which ESV to have up if I know the majority in the congregation have one edition....

    Not in Logos, as they've updated their resource to the 2011 edition without keeping the old one around. However here is a list of all the changes made in that edition:

    Someone has taken it upon himself to present them all in HTML format which is easier to copy and do stuff with:

    Here's a list of changes that were made in the 2007 from the preceding (original) edition:

    Not in Logos, as they've updated their resource to the 2011 edition without keeping the old one around.

    Is this standard policy for all Bible versions with Logos? It would make more sense to me if they would at least provide the option to keep past editions of texts that have been purchased.

    It can be quite confusing for the average user who comes across different editions of the same text. In the "old days" it was quite easy to say that "I'm reading from the 'authorized' version" or whatever version but now you must give the version title along with the edition. I have especially found this frustrating for average people who use the NIV. I commonly ask what edition you are reading and most people are not even aware that there are different editions of a version even though there are major differences between the NIV84 and the NIV11.

    I don't know what Logos's standard policy is. They aren't big on standard policies in general. They tend to kind of shoot from the hip, until people complain about things.

    They did let people who already owned the NIV84 keep that when they upgraded to NIV11, rather than merely slipstreaming the changes into the existing files like they did with the ESV. But the NIV84 is no longer sold and no longer available through Logos.

    I don't know what they've done in the case of other versions.

    It would be a reasonable request to ask Logos to keep all these editions separate so people could see them side-by-side and know what has changed, and know which edition they're reading. As has been shown with all the fallout from the NIV --> TNIV --> NIV2011 debacle, not everyone believes that newer is necessarily better.

    With the NIV it was required by the publisher. A manager at a local Zondervan bookstore told me that they had to ship all 1984 NIV Bibles back to the publisher where they were destroyed. Seems to me they could have given them away as opposed to destroying them. Other software publishers were also required to remove the 1984 edition, and had to beg to be allowed to let users who had already purchased it to continue to use it.

     

    This is the problem with copyrights. Those who own them think they can do anything they want, with no regard for the end user. The NIV publishers thought that gender inclusive language was so important that they had to trick everyone into buying it. There was already a quite excellent gender inclusive version available (NRSV), not to mention the TNIV. Neither sold very well.

     

    The ESV publishers continued to revise the ESV for years without ever putting a revision or printing number in it which could identify it. As the chart I posted shows, there were some fairly big errors that made it into the first printing, it was obviously not ready for print yet. Don't get me wrong, I like the ESV. But how can we take it seriously as a "Standard" when it keeps changing?
