Guess what just came in the mail?
I am so excited. I've always wanted a hard copy of the New Living Translation. Note: It is a real translation, done by a committee, unlike The Living Bible, which is the work of a single translator. Ever heard of --
- Barry Beitzel
- Daniel Block
- Lynn Cohick
- Tremper Longman
- John Oswalt
- Jeremy Taylor
- Norman Ericson
- Grant Osborne
Yep, they all served on the Bible Translation Committee of the NLT.
I'll be taking this Bible with me to Europe on this trip. And no, I will not be traveling with my well-worn Greek New Testament. I'm afraid I'd lose it or it would get stolen. "O ye of little faith." Well, I had my first Greek New Testament stolen out of my car in California, so my paranoia is well-grounded. I just couldn't live without my Greek New Testament. That's an exaggeration, of course. But it is a rather special book to me :-)
