The '''New American Standard Bible''' (NASB) is a modern [[English language]] translation of the [[Bible]]. It is fully accessible online. ''This translation is considered one of the finest, and more [[conservative]], of the modern versions''.
It is based on the 1901 [[American Standard Version]], but seeks to provide a smoother reading in contemporary English. Archaic English "thee's" and "thou's" are replaced and words and phrases have been updated to the extent that their familiar meanings have changed. Sentences beginning with "and" have been changed, sometimes substituting "then" or "but" depending on the context. Through consultation with original [[Hebrew]] and [[Greek]] texts, some passages have been corrected.
The rights to the NASB are owned by the Lockman Foundation, an interdenominational nonprofit group which also has the rights to the [[Amplified Bible]]. The NASB should not be confused with the [[New American Bible]], which is a [[Catholic]] translation.
==Dr. Frank Logsdon==
Dr. Frank Logsdon, a member of the translation committee, was later convinced that the Catholic manuscripts from which modern Bibles are translated are, in fact, bad manuscripts. He renounced all connections to the NASB and now promoted the [[Authorized Version]] as the perfect word of God.<ref>Bible Translator Says, 'I'm In Trouble With The Lord.', ''Chick Publications'' [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.chick.com/information/bibleversions/articles/translator.asp&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwij5q3T5IjTAhVE_IMKHfEoDLwQFggEMAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNH2C0Vt2o5fpKmE2lRW3nxeaE7Wpg]</ref>
