Why another English Bible Translation?
00:00:00.320 | - I think the basic question that we're gonna be asked
00:00:04.220 | on this effort is, we already have maybe as many
00:00:07.760 | as 25 English translations that are in circulation.
00:00:11.440 | Why do we need another English translation of the Bible?
00:00:17.240 | Why have we taken on this project?
00:00:20.320 | And how urgent is it to have another one?
00:00:23.200 | - I think fundamentally one of the things we wanted to do
00:00:26.800 | with this translation wasn't to produce something new
00:00:29.960 | in a brand new sense, but to preserve something old.
00:00:33.200 | A lot of what we did in the Legacy Standard Bible
00:00:38.240 | was to uphold what we already have in the '95
00:00:41.360 | to make sure that that translation remains extant
00:00:44.200 | in the next generations.
00:00:46.020 | And it also pulled from the 1977,
00:00:49.380 | which has kind of gone away a little bit,
00:00:52.200 | not necessarily in popularity, but in availability.
00:00:55.160 | So we wanted to bring some of those things together
00:00:57.840 | and preserve it.
00:00:59.920 | So it's not just about getting something new to the people,
00:01:03.160 | but having them tie with what they've always had
00:01:06.000 | and having their children tie with what they've had.
