I love the NLT so I’m really happy Humble Lamb is doing that. I don’t agree that it’s for people with a lower reading level. It’s for everyone who likes to read the way we speak today. Next I would like to see Humble lamb do the CSB. I have the other Humble Lamb translations. Love them all.
It definitely is for people with a lower reading level because more literal translations are harder to read but are much closer to the original language in many I like the NLT a lot but in several places it misses the meaning of certain passages for the sake of a easier read
I would love to see Humble Lamb come out with a CSB version. That's the version my Sunday School class uses. I most likely wouldn't be able to afford it, but that would be my choice. They could call it something like the CSB Trinity.
Super pumped about it! I love the NKJV and the KJV but it would be nice to own a NLT for the days I struggle with reading the Bible. I think we all have experienced this. Some days there's so much going on that an easier reading Bible would be welcomed. I'm a widow, a mom, and I work at my church. Sometimes I'm tired and it would be refreshing to read a different and more modern English Bible.
I’m excited to see what they do with this! I have to admit not being a fan of the NASB 2020, so having an NLT from them should be amazing! If anyone brings back the HCSB, I am all over that!
Would love to see them do the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and or WEB since they’re public domain. But I’d say the other translation they bring for now, along with the NLT which I’m excited for, is the ESV.
I'm excited about this. I just started using the NLT last year. I've always been an NKJV girl but have been looking at other translations. I like the logo & I'm hoping it won't be a compact version. I like verse by verse, but it will be exciting to see what they do. I have their blue NKJV Shepherd Bible which is nice.
Wife says NLT and others are great for people who read at a lower reading level. Our friends have a son who's 18 but reads at a 5th grade level due to dyslexia. She plans to get him a NLT and hopefully get him and the family back to church! Thanks for the exciting news. She says Humble Lamb will be her first premium Bible whenever she can save up! Right now she's enjoying the CSB and an old Catholic Bible she got for free, the Confraternity Version.
@@pkmcnett5649don’t think he is trying to insult people, but translations do have a grade level reading, no one should feel insulted for that but thank God we have a variety to help Gods people read and understand his word better. I love and read NASB or LSB but every now and then I need a NLT
I can read any level of English but the NLT is hands down the best translation that’s more alive to me when I read. It’s by far my favorite translation.
I am so with you Nickels. So excited to see this roll out. I Love Humble Lamb and I am more excited for this than the Lion Refresh and I got one of those coming too. But it is a great idea for the NLT to come out in a new premium and I can't wait for Jon to Hopefully make my favorite rebind ever!!! And to answer your questions... 1. Getting more excited by the minute 🌄😎 2. Pretty much the same as you and yeah the CSB or ESV! Have a Blessed weekend Everyone 🙏
I won't even know what the WED and ASV are. The RSV or ESV would be my picks. What I'd really like is a single column RSV with older woodcut illustrations than the Gustav Dore they've been using, which would never happen and is why I'm making one for myself from a Schuyler Treveris, printouts and glue.
It’s wonderful news, Pastor Tim! 😊 I am very excited! You won’t agree with me here but I’m hoping for single column (preferably verse by verse) with side column references!! 😮Definitely my fav text block - and the Caxton and Select are no longer in print. I agree that the translation after the NLT should be different from the mainstream so to speak and the WEB and ASV would be great. Please keep us updated on this terrific news.
I like that idea. I know they did the single column, side column reference format with the NKJV Shepherd, but that was in paragraph format, not verse by verse. I was thinking the same, but having the cross references in the outside margins and the textual footnotes in the inside margins. I like having the cross references and textual footnotes separate. 0r having the cross references on top of the outside margins and the textual footnotes on the bottom. Or not have the cross references and just having the textual footnotes. I use the footnotes more than the cross references anyway.
My top three (in order) would be the WEB, BSB/MSB, and LEB. I get that the last one is a total pipe dream because it is exclusive to Logos, but I love the translation. The WEB and BSB/MSB are great translations, but have no premium options (the MSB has none!). I'd love to see them grow in popularity
A Hunble Lamb CSB would be great! And a NASB ‘95 as well. I think the perfect size in a Bible for me is found in the Thomas Nelson Premier Collection Single Column Reference Bible, with the 10.5 font and 36gsm paper. If I could have Humble Lamb add their flair to the NASB ‘95 and the CSB in that format, I’d be all in, Lord willing!!
Would be interesting if they got the ability to also make it a Filament enabled Bible through Tyndale. Imagine a premium Humble Lamb with all the app perks of Filament. That would be an amazing combination.
Hearing the NLT audio of the OT in You Version is a guilty pleasure. I purchased a personal size large print indexed in genuine leather (dark olive green). For me, it doesn’t have to be any more premium than that. It will last a long time.
Daniel and his team do a wonderful job on their Bibles. I have the KJV Shepherd and it's my only premium Bible. I'm praying about where it will find itself upon my demise since I am 75 years old with no children. God has always let me know when and where to gift someone, so I know He will direct me. I treasure all of my Bibles and every translation I own. However, I write in them all as well as take notes. My Humble Lamb is the only "clean" Bible, and it remains in it's box on my bookshelf. :)
Two I’d like to see. (1) bring back the 1984 NIV, the classic translation. Old School Folks would go hog wild for that one. Also, (2)how about a translation that includes the apocrypha? KJV, RSV, ESV, even the NLT have them. Lamb should do a special edition to test the demand. Jesus on!
NLT(catholic edition) with words of christ in blue. Just footnotes & References. This is what would be nice for Humble Lamb to produce in this as an option.
Wow Just now knowing this . Would like to have something to understand more to go along with my future KJV Lion which I am still waiting on . A ESV translation would be nice also as I have been reading the ESV on my Bible app to off set the KJV app as well.
Good. I love those older translations too. BUT! I think Humble Lamb knows they have to sell Bibles to modern readers to grow their business. NLT is a good move as it's consistently near the top of Bible sales lists. NIV should be next because those are also a bit difficult to find in premium.
I'd say that the MEV 2nd Edition would be a fine option...if Charisma House were willing to license it out. Problem is that they're kinda strict about sharing the MEV with other publishers (while still taking their time releasing it themselves).
Hello, from Havana Cuba. No doubt I am your number one fan in this tinny tiny island in the Caribbean. As a Messianic Jew, I have come to believe that both, Christians and Messianic Jews, should be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, in a very difficult time for our existence. Many hate us because we follow the Jewish Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus Christ) out Lord and Savior. They hate the Jews around the world, but I can see your love and respect for Israel. You have praised the work of Jews in their translations, namely the NJV. Have you checked the Complete Jewish Bible by David Stern? God bless you and your beautiful ministry.
NLT is a good decision; next, maybe the REB - it's pretty good too, or make a deal with The Message and clean it up a bit. I've not seen premium versions of it. Might need to make it a translation though. But the NLT I will buy. And what about the MEV? I think it is from the majority text.
I really wish they didn’t make so many jumps in the NLT. Taking one of Jesus I AM statements meant to show His divinity and supplying words to say “I am the messiah”
Hi Tim. From what you know, is Humble Lamb still doing this? Did not see the NLT on their website like when it's coming and stuff. Is this collaboration going to happen? LMK. Thanks.
It’s too bad RL Allan stopped publishing the NLT. I assume it ran into licensing issues with the NKJV and maybe that is the issue with NLT. Or maybe there are issues licensing somebody’s NLT text block as, unlike Schuyler, RL Allan doesn’t make its own.
I have the NLT Pitt Minion from Cambridge, but unfortunately, Cambridge isn't publishing the NLT anymore. I no longer purchase Schuyler Bibles because their quality (in my opinion) has slipped in recent years. I have the NKJV Shepherd and the NASB HIStory, and the new KJV Lion Refresh (in Storm Gray!) is on order. I was really hoping that Humble Lamb would publish an NLT and I'm really excited to see what they come up with. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Humble Lamb does the NIV since it is still the #1 best selling Bible, or perhaps the CSB which is certainly growing in popularity.
Nah, its probably gonna keep the error in matthew 5 in reference to the “an eye for an eye” passage of the Old Testament. Jesus explicitly states, “You have heard it said,” rather than, “You heard that it was written,” displaying the fact that He was dealing with an interpretation of personal vengeance, and was not contradicting the scriptures which were meant for legal judgements. The NLT has it say that that they “heard that it was said in the Law of Moses”, causing Jesus to contradict a passage that He never did, nor intended to do.
I enjoy the NLT translation and use it sometimes when I teach youths at church. I just wish Tyndale would up their game on NLT bibles. Their genuine leather bibles are overpriced and not the greatest construction wise. Although I give them some credit for finally joining the modern bible world of sewn binding, lol. Way late to that party but better late than never I guess. Yeah, you can tell I have had issues with my nlt purchases in the past.
I hope they don’t do drop caps. I just don’t like them. I like the capital letters starting a chapter like what Schuyler does. Otherwise just regular text would be cool. Their fore-edge is awesome. So cool. Double column would be nice.
Sonrise is just the name of the Bible. Sort of like Schuyler has the Caxton, Quentel, etc. The text will be the same. I’m sure it will have a unique design though.
Hey Tim, I sent a message in your comment section in one of your videos about the NLT illustrated study Bible with symith sewn binding. Were you able to see it?
There are a lot of reasons why I do not like Humble Lamb bibles after buying one once. They are trying too hard but sadly still have not worked out how to build a classy bible.
