The American Standard Version is a classic text for digging into the depths of God's Word. The complete Bible, first published in 1901, has been used since that time to seek a full understanding of Scripture. The Version sought-and greatly achieved-a literal translation of the original languages into American English. Because the translation is so literal, it has been treasured as a tool for understanding God's original intent by those who do not read Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. This wide-margin copy of the American Standard Version allows you to study the text in-depth and to make your own notes as you seek God's will. This wide-margin edition has 2 inch margins on the sides.
