"A
truly excellent version, combining both dignity and fine taste. Personally I
think it has succeeded in achieving what the most recent publications have
attempted. Hearty congratulations. This should be adopted for Sunday School
purposes, and easily equals the NIV and NAS, so far as I have sampled it."
The Late Dr. Gleason Archer
Professor of Old Testament emeritus
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

his comments about the ISV (mp3 files):

"The
arrival of the International Standard Version has solved a longstanding
problem for me. For years I have had two Bibles, one for study and one for
public use, such as speaking. My study Bible was reliable, but not very
readable, even out loud. My preaching Bible was wonderful, but not a
completely reliable translation. The International Standard Version is a
perfect blend of the two. Now I can have readability for preaching or
personal devotion, but with a reliable and up to date translation from
Evangelical scholars who believe in the inspiration of the scripture."

"After
perusing the ISV®, I was agreeably surprised and impressed. The goal of
making the translation "literal and idiomatic" has certainly been achieved.
The readability and reliability is delightful. I believe this translation
should be well received and appreciated."
The Late Dr. Jack MacArthur
Voice of Calvary
Eugene, Oregon
"I
have not been a fan of the modern translations, but the International
Standard Version® New Testament is a refreshing exception! Terrific! In my
opinion, the ISV® truly is the most readable and accurate English language
translation of the Bible ever produced. When the Old Testament is completed,
I plan to undertake a Prophecy Bible using the ISV®."
"In
the midst of a flood of erroneous so-called new translations of the Bible,
it is refreshing to find the International Standard Version® of the New
Testament. It is up-to-date in modern research and Greek syntax and grammar,
yet it is easy to read. I recommend this translation to anyone who wants a
reliable study Bible."
