I know a French-speaking Quebec Baptist pastor who endorses the Ostervald version. I know nothing about the French Bibles so basically I am taking his word for it that the Ostervald is okay.
The Ostervald translation is a revision of John Calvin's
Bible de Gen?ve, which itself is a based the Olivetan Bible. So probably generally reliable.
I remember around 20 years ago, KJV-onlyists were strongly touting the Ostervald as the French equivalent of the KJV. Don't see that too much anymore. Maybe someone figured out that Jean-Fr?d?ric Osterwald didn't translate
monogenes as the French equivalent of "only begotten," for example.
