Now with improved navigation (March 2011)! This edition of the NASB is the original 1977 version preceding the 1995 update. The NASB has been widely embraced and trusted as a literal word-for-word translation. Instead of telling the reader what to think, the NASB provides a precise translation with which to conduct a personal journey through the Word of God. The updated NASB is also available for the Nook.
