American Standard Version

Based on the Revised Version (RV) the American Standard Version (ASV) was also called Standard American Revision, or the Standard Bible published in 1901.


The Tetragrammaton is rendered Jehovah in the ASV Old Testament, rather than LORD as it appears in the King James Bible. Explained in the Preface by the Revisers, "were brought to the unanimous conviction that a Jewish superstition, which regarded the Divine Name as too sacred to be uttered, ought no longer to dominate in the English or any other version of the Old Testament..."


Other changes from the RV to the ASV included (but were not limited to) substituting "who" and "that" for "which" when referring to people, and Holy Ghost was dropped in favor of Holy Spirit.


Two Sparrows Bibles are meticulously designed for ease of navigation, a pleasure to read in any modes (night, day or sepia) with emphasis on typography and layout.


Pages have shortcuts that are subtle as to not interfere with the simplicity in the presentation of the text. Navigation is linked to verse numbers so you can jump to any addresses in the Bible with 3 or fewer touches. Some of the books such as Obadiah, Philemon, 2 John, 3 John and Jude require only 2 jumps.
