NIV, ESV, & HCSB: What are the Differences?

Some time ago I saw these videos (on the DBTS blog) of a symposium held in September 2011 at Liberty University regarding various popular Bible Translations. The discussion was called “Which Bible Should I Use”. The presentations focused on the New International Version, the English Standard Version, and the Holman Christian Standard Bible. I thought that the presentations were excellent and would be very helpful to anyone who wanted to better understand the differences in the translation philosophies and renderings of these three modern translations.

If you are trying to decide on which translation might be best for you, are curious about the differences, or are just generally interested in Bible translation I think you will find these to be valuable.
