A meme in the making: is an ESV wave sweeping the blogosphere

In a way that still feels bizarre to me, it is often the case that bloggers post on the same subject without as each other within days of each other without realising (or indeed in one case with me and David Wayne 1 minute!). So I was surpised as ever to find that I am not the only person posting on the English Standard Version at the moment. It seems I am not the only one who loves the ESV.

So I have found parableman, Stronger Church , Elliot, faith untamed, couple of words, locusts and wild honey, modblog, paeloevangelical, john brown, leon and alecia, mountys corner, daves wall, Keith, bald bears, have all posted in the last couple of weeks on how great the ESV is, whilst Ochuck reports that those concerned about the new version of the NIV will find a ready home in the ESV. Jeff, isnt quite so convinced.

Of course, if you are rational about it you might argue that the blogosphere is large enough you will always find someone else who is interested in what you are at the moment and indeed the Blogpulse trend service does seem to suggest that the ESV has had a fairly constant low level of interest over the last month or so- maybe this is however the beginning of a wave of interest, I sure hope so. Whats YOUR favorite bible translation?
