- I think the basic question that we're gonna be asked on this effort is, we already have maybe as many as 25 English translations that are in circulation. Why do we need another English translation of the Bible? Why have we taken on this project? And how urgent is it to have another one?

- I think fundamentally one of the things we wanted to do with this translation wasn't to produce something new in a brand new sense, but to preserve something old. A lot of what we did in the Legacy Standard Bible was to uphold what we already have in the '95 to make sure that that translation remains extant in the next generations.

And it also pulled from the 1977, which has kind of gone away a little bit, not necessarily in popularity, but in availability. So we wanted to bring some of those things together and preserve it. So it's not just about getting something new to the people, but having them tie with what they've always had and having their children tie with what they've had.
