About the American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV) Translation
The American Standard Version (ASV), published in 1901, is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and literal English Bible translations ever produced. Developed by an American revision committee working alongside British scholars on the Revised Version (1885), the ASV Bible was designed to correct perceived weaknesses in the King James Version while preserving its dignified style. One notable feature of the ASV is its consistent use of 'Jehovah' as the name of God in the Old Testament, following the Hebrew text more closely than many other translations. Prized by Bible scholars, seminaries, and serious students of scripture for its word-for-word fidelity to the original Hebrew and Greek texts, the American Standard Version offers unmatched precision for in-depth Bible study. Many important modern translations, including the New American Standard Bible (NASB) and the World English Bible (WEB), are based on the ASV. Read the American Standard Version Bible online here in full, from Genesis to Revelation.
