We’ve started the countdown: all of the hardcover NLT Study Bibles are arriving soon and will start shipping out of our warehouse. ~~Most bookstores will have~~ Some bookstores will start having the NLTSB in stock by one month from today: August 28!

We’re holding a couple of online events to celebrate:
1: Live NLT Study Bible online seminars. NLT SB General Editor Sean Harrison will be offering an online seminar to explain the features of the NLTSB and to demonstrate the usage of the NLTSB to study Genesis. Details: seminars will be less than an hour long each, on August 7 at 11AM CST and August 28 at 7pm CST. Click here to register.

2: 31-day NLT Study Bible giveaway. During his seminars, Sean will be answering questions about the NLT Study Bible. So we want to know what questions you have about the NLT Study Bible. Post your question in the comments of this post, and each day, I will randomly choose a winner of a hardcover NLT Study Bible from among the people who posted new questions that day. Update: The contest is over. Please feel free to continue asking questions and we'll try to answer them, but we won't be choosing any more winners. I will post a list of many of your questions and the answers to those questions once we can work our way through them.

Rules: You can’t win if you don’t ask a question about the NLT Study Bible. Don’t put your mailing address in your comment--if you win, someone will email you to ask you for your mailing address. We’ll send out all 31 of the Bibles the first week of September. You can only win once—but feel free to ask questions for as many days as you want until you win. Starting today.

Anonymous said...: Why was it felt necessary to produce the NLT Study Bible in a red-letter addition?; July 28, 2008 7:16 PM
Dan Masshardt said...: will the study notes in this Bible be more for clarification of the text or application to life? I hope that makes sense.; July 28, 2008 8:21 PM
Scripture Zealot said...: Will there be a leather edition? I saw this on Amazon.
Jeff; July 28, 2008 8:37 PM
Marty said...: I also would like to know if the study notes are strictly clarifying the text or is there material to help me apply it to my life & relationship with God? How will this be done in the notes? Through thought questions or just comments? Thanks for letting us know; July 28, 2008 8:39 PM
exegete77 said...: Which dating scheme will be used for timelines (dates of Exodus, dates of writings, i.e. Revelation)?

carolina said...: As far as the quality of the paper is concerned, is the material such that one can write notes on it without any ink bleeding or seeping through the page(s)?; July 28, 2008 11:01 PM
jbwiebe said...: How will the NLT Study Bible handle traditional texts that were almost certainly not part of the original autographs? For example John 7:53-8:11.; July 28, 2008 11:21 PM
Ron said...: In one word what would be the best answer to Why should I buy the NLT Study Bible?; July 29, 2008 12:42 AM
Geoff said...: The ESV & NLT have distinctly different translation philosophies while both enjoying fairly wide acceptance by evangelicals. Given the number of people who are considering which to buy, could you comment on the difference in philosophy/feature set between the NLT Study Bible & the ESV Study Bible?; July 29, 2008 5:52 AM
drmellow said...: How portable is the NLT Study Bible (size, weight, durability, etc.)?; July 29, 2008 7:15 AM
Steven R. Robertson said...: Do the notes advocate particular theological persuasions/interpretations (e.g., eschatology) or are all possible understandings presented for the reader to decide from?; July 29, 2008 8:31 AM
Scripture Zealot said...: When the NLT is updated again in the future will a new edition of the study bible come out too. If so will the study portions be updated also?
Jeff; July 29, 2008 10:37 AM
Jimbo S. said...: In addition to these fine questions, does the NLTSB have a page or two with something like "Steps To Peace With God," "God's Plan To Save You," or "Plan Of Salvation?" (I have many Study Bibles (and regular Bibles of course)that include the above. Many people (and not just the Gideons International)think it's a great idea to have that available.); July 29, 2008 1:29 PM
Ben said...: What has the NLT team done to make sure the study notes and extra information given in the Study Bible do not confuse average Christians?; July 29, 2008 4:10 PM
Dan Masshardt said...: Were the study notes prepared by only a few individuals or a variety of contributors? Are they biblical scholars, theologians, or pastors?; July 29, 2008 5:09 PM
Brian said...: How well do you think this particular Study Bible might serve a Pastor in the pulpit?

Also could you tell us more about the Bible reading plans at the end of the Study Bible? You put in a 5 year one as opposed to a one year one.

Thanks

Juan said...: What is the total number of cross references in the NLT Study Bible; July 29, 2008 7:41 PM

h_bar said...: I've heard somewhere that the NLT translation will have its Spanish counterpart in 2009.
Will the NLT Study Bible also be available in Spanish in the foreseeable future?; July 29, 2008 9:32 PM
jbwiebe said...: In light of the fact that the NLT Study Bible "focuses on the meaning and message of the text as understood in and through the original historical context"*, how will the study notes address texts recognized as Messianic only much later? For example, Psalm 2 or Isaiah 7:14.

Dave said...: Are the bindings sewn on any of the NLTSB editions? Also, do you know the "weight" of the paper used?

Rich; August 2, 2008 6:12 PM
Jimbo S. said...: Will the NLTSB be available for the Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device? (eBook Form)
My Sister In Law, who has a Kindle, has the NLT Text Edition (ASIN: B001AS6H1M) loaded on hers and she said to ask "my friend" at Tyndale if the SB will be available! : )
The Kindle is really awesome-saving my pennies for one now! :P

Rich; August 4, 2008 10:58 AM
Scripture Zealot said...: How was the size of the Bible decided up and gauged. Was there a size decided upon for introductory notes? How about how many comments to use for the Bible text?
Jeff; August 4, 2008 11:02 AM
Steven R. Robertson said...: Is the NLTSB a red-letter edition? If so, what's the rationale for using red letters?; August 4, 2008 11:30 AM
Mark said...: I greatly enjoy writing my own personal notes in my bible. Is there enough blank space on the page to write notes and comments? The space doesn't have to be just in the margins as I always footnote my notes. And closely related to this question: Is the paper thick enough to handle the writing of notes on it?

A second question I have is I have been hearing that the text of the NLT has been (or is being) updated again for the third time. Is this true? And if it is, the this new Study bible feature the update? Also, if true, where can I read up on what has been changed?

A thrid question I have, though not entirely related to this study bible, is do you know of any good sources defending dynamic translations as good translations for study purposes?

Thank you for your time!; August 4, 2008 12:47 PM

Hannah C. said...: How much information will there be about certain opinions on where texts came from, such as the documentary hypothesis and the supposed New Testament source "Quelle"? How will those topics be treated in the NLTSB?

And for those of us who can't be online during the seminars, will there be a way for us to see transcripts or otherwise experience a bit of the seminar?; August 9, 2008 11:47 AM
chad said...: Due to the wide degress's of theological thought in evangelicism today, do you think the NLT can be accepted by the protestant church at large or a specific segment of thought?

Was the UBS 4th/NA 27th edition used exclusively or were alternate manuscripts used.; August 9, 2008 12:06 PM
Brent said...: I think of the NLT as a good reading Bible, but not a study Bible because of its use of dynamic equivalence.

Why do you think the NLT is superior as a version to study from, considering how many other versions (NASB, ESV, etc) attempt to be more literal and are valuable for study?; August 9, 2008 1:23 PM

BJ said...: I'd be interested in knowing a bit about the print run. I expect that you would print thousands of text blocks, and then bind them differently, according to expected sales. You've got three pricepoints, based on type of bindings - hardback, tu-tone, and leather. What proportion of the print run gets devoted to each binding type? Did you reserve any blocks uncut, that could be made into limited edition smythsewn bindings?; August 13, 2008 12:08 AM
Ron said...: Will the NLT Study Bible notes be put in other translations like the Life Application Study Bible?; August 13, 2008 1:15 AM
BJ said...: Ron, I think the NLT team has created two different products - the life application bible is designed for a practical christian experience, while the new study bible is designed to provide a more academic approach to scripture and the theology in it.

But joining them together- now that would be something! but probably more than we would want to carry.; August 13, 2008 2:01 AM
OngSH said...: Will there be a review for each book of the Bible on the background / culture of the people at the time the book was written? I think it will help us study more effectively if we know why as their culture at that point in time may make no sense to us now. E.g. Knowing that the manger is actually within a house and not a separate holding. I never knew about that fact. Always thought it was a stable. But recently found out that in those times, people have an area near the main door which holds their animals. The animals are staying in the house and not outside as they are regarded as wealth and important enough to want to keep safe.; August 13, 2008 4:47 AM

BJ said...: Ron, I think I misunderstood you before. There are life application bibles available in KJV, NKJV, NLT, NASB, and NIV. You asked: Would these new study notes be available in those versions. Hmmm. How does that work? Does Tyndale sell rights and licence the notes to other publishers, and what kind of limitations do they place on them to modify them? What kind of income for Tyndale comes from such licensing?; August 13, 2008 6:00 PM

Brent said...: What made the NLT change back to "for forgiveness of sins" in Acts 2:38 in the 2007 revision, rather than keeping "to show that you have received forgiveness of sins" in the 2004 edition? I think the 2007 correction is great, but I just wonder why the change was made and what explanation the NLTSB gives in the commentary for this verse.; August 16, 2008 9:23 AM

Justin said...: What is the reading level of the NLT Study Bible?; August 16, 2008 5:05 PM
BJ said...: I like the idea of looking at what the original writers were intending for their readers as a theme or approach to writing the study notes. Reminds me of Mortimer Adler's book "How to read a book", where he makes a strong effort to invite readers to clearly understand an author's intent before critiquing a text. For you, in your notes, it raises an interesting dimension of possible arrogance, in suggesting that ancient people "would have" understood what an author intended in those days. What kind of editorial process did the NLTSB go through to ensure that a balanced approach was offered in the notes?; August 16, 2008 9:00 PM

I grew up in the Mormon faith and was always taught that the Bible could not be trusted and was corrupted.

I would willingly sacrifice my preference for single columns (I understand the spacing issue) for an edition without red lettering. Especially considering the potential significance of this release.

I know many modern translation Bibles do not include them, but most do not include a note for the omission, if they are a study Bible. If the NLTSB doesn't include them, will it have the note for the omission?; August 21, 2008 3:39 PM
