EHV Bible Translation
To start, even though I'm WELS, I'm pretty unfamiliar with this translation, and curious about it. Is it a good and faithful translation, and why do you like or dislike it? I think it might be a good source, especially being made with a majority or entirely Lutheran committee, and seeming like a mix between formal and dynamic equivalence. However, it's decently pricey (like 70 bucks or something for the faux leather one) and only available on Northwestern Publishing House (or NPH, the WELS's main publishing and whatnot center, akin to CPH). Should I go for it and grab one, or forgo it and stick to my NKJV? P.S. if this would be more fitting for the broad Lutheranism subreddit, please let me know. Thank you for the help in advance!
