On page V of the participant book James Davison states "no one version is best for all people! Some translations are literal, trying to provide word-for-word translations as much as possible. In contrast, other translations paraphrase the biblical text loosely, with the intent of bringing the meaning out in contemporary language. Still other translations attempt to find a middle ground." He goes on to say, "Each style of translation has its value." On page VI he also gives some guidance on how your group might select which translation they will use as a group.
