Bibles Used by Various Preachers
Dealing with the KJV onlyism recently got me thinking about what Bible translations do various Bible teachers, preachers, and evangelists use primarily when they teach. So I put together this short list. There is no order to my list and I do not agree theologically with all those cited here.
1. Jack Cottrell, teacher, NASB
2. James White, apologist, ESV
3. Roger Olson, teacher, NIV
4. Carter Conlon, pastor, KJV
5. R.C. Sproul Sr., teacher, NKJV
6. Tony Evans, pastor, NASB
7. John MacArthur, pastor, NASB
8. Andy Stanley, pastor, NIV
9. Mark Driscoll, pastor, ESV
10. Robert Picirilli, teacher, KJV
11. Ravi Zacharias, apologist, NIV
12. William Craig Lane, apologist, NIV
13. Ray Comfort, evangelist, NKJV
14. Mark Cahill, evangelist, KJV
15. Jesse Morrell, evangelist, KJV

17. Jim Cymbala, pastor, NIV
18. Gordon McDonald, pastor, ESV
19. Charles Stanley, pastor, NASB
20. Michael Brown, apologist, NIV
21. N.T. Wright, theologian, NRSV
22. Rick Warren, pastor, NLT
23. F. Leroy Forlines, theologian, NKJV
24. Loren Livingston, pastor, NKJV
25. Jack Hayford, pastor, NKJV
26. Charles Swindoll, pastor, NASB
27. Kenneth Copeland, prosperity preacher, KJV
28. Leland Rykin Sr., teacher, ESV
29. Sinclair Ferguson, pastor, ESV
30. Alistair Begg, pastor, NIV
31. William Birch, blogger, ?
32. Gary Demar, apologist, NASB
33. Paul Copan, apologist, NIV
34. Brian Houston, pastor, NKJV
35. Jack Deere, teacher, NIV
36. Rick Joyner, charismatic preacher, NASB
37. Josh McDowell, apologist, NIV
38. Charles Ryrie, teacher, NASB
