1 | Did Dr Frank Logsdon work on the NASB? | 2 Tim 2:15 | kwadecook | 225256 | ||
I am a college student that is interested in all things Bible, especially when it comes to different Bibles. I came across a book that contained a letter from a gentleman named Dr. Frank Logsdon who reportedly worked on the NASB and for The Lockman Foundation. My question is this: was Dr Frank Logsdon ever involved with the NASB or The Lockman Foundation? Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. | ||||||

Hello kwadecook, The Lockman Foundation's Official Response to KJVO claims about Frank Logsdon Published with permission from The Lockman Foundation "The Board of Directors of The Lockman Foundation launched the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE translation work in the late 1950's following the completion of the AMPLIFIED NEW TESTAMENT. Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon was acquainted with Dewey Lockman, president of The Lockman Foundation, prior to Mr. Lockman's death in 1974. Mr. Logsdon was never a member of the Board of Directors, nor was he an employee of The Lockman Foundation. Mr. Logsdon had no authority to hire employees or translators for the Foundation, to set policy, to vote, to hold office, to incur expenses, etc. He cannot be considered "co-founder" of the NASB, nor part of The Lockman Foundation, nor part of the NASB translation team, nor did he write the forward of the NASB. According to our records, he was present at board meetings on two occasions -- once to hear a travel report; and once to deliver an "inspirational thought." Mr. Logsdon last wrote to Mr. Lockman in fall of 1973 that he was moving to Florida. Mr. Lockman replied that he was surprised and saddened by his decision to leave the area. Mr. Lockman passed away in January of 1974, and no further correspondence was exchanged between Frank Logsdon and The Lockman Foundation. He resided in Florida until his passing some years ago. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 (NASB)" The Lockman Foundation I hope this helps, BradK |

Thank you very much for your response. I don't know if this clears up the speech given by Logsdon that I heard, but it is information. | ||||||
