There has been only one major translation of the [[Bible]] into English that post-dates the advent of the [[internet]] and was able to utilize email and online search tools to enhance the collaboration: the [[Holman Christian Standard Bible]]. All other major translations, including the popular [[NIV]] and [[NASB]] versions, predate the collaborative and research power increasingly made available by internet technology.

While all modern translations emphasize their reliance on the most ancient manuscripts, it is unclear what they use to adapt to the ever-changing meaning of terms in modern language. The often-used term "grace", for example, does likely mean the same to an average English-speaker in 2009 as it meant in 1959 or even 1979. The term "word" (Greek: "logos") that is so important to the beginning of the [[Gospel of John]] does not likely mean the same to a listener in the [[internet]] age as it meant in the television era, or prior to that when books and hand-written letters were the primary means of communication.
