    Who/why are they the ones rich in faith?

    The same ones whom God chose beforehand.appointed unto salvation in christ, as its His will and work that they heard and believed the message of the Cross?

    Why in a crowd of sinners, some get saved, many stay lost?

    God makes sure those whom he knew and predestined to get saved by the preaching of the Cross will get saved!

    And you still have yet to show us the creditials that will allow you to take to task those "bogus" scholars on the esv/Niv translation teams!

    Have you even bothered to check what they actually believed, as most on Niv team were neither reformed/calvinists!

    The ESV first came out in 2001 and has minor updates since then --the latest was in 2011.

    The NRSV, NRSVA and NRSVCE were all published in the 1990's.

    So the ESV is the new boy on the block --not the older versions you mentioned.

    So mostly it was the combination of really good marketing plus an alternative to the newer NIVs. Makes sense. I just thought there would be something more than good marketing behind it that I was missing.

    About same reasons why the Niv took off earlier!

    Big publisher behind both of them, wanted to get it into church cuuriculums, had big names supporting them, and both are good translations!

    Not at all. When the NIV came out in the 70's, the marketing arm did not demonize any other translation or actively urge any boycotts.

    The very basic premise of the ESV and to a lesser extent, the HCSB was to combat what was thought to be a liberal, feminist, agenda-driven Bible translation. The ESV was published slightly earlier than the TNIV to make a sort of preventive strike.

    Think this discussion has run its course and is way past the 10-page limit now.
