International Standard Version Notes

The International Standard Version (ISV) is a brand-new translation of the Bible. Conservative scholars who respect the reliability of the Scriptures have meticulously translated the ISV using only the best in modern scholarship. The ISV is both accurate and readable, using clear and natural English to convey the thoughts, intents, and words of the original text of the Bible. The ISV is a "literal-idiomatic" translation, meaning that it combines literal accuracy with a clear communication of cultural idioms that appear in the original text. Another significant feature of the ISV is that text that was originally rendered as poetry when first written are meticulously crafted as true poems in the ISV.
