Bible Question: I am wanting to know specifically where the NASB bible's original documents came from that were used in it's translation as well as who did the actual translating and their qualifications. I believe with my whole heart that as Jesus said "Be holy as I am holy" means that we are to strive for perfection. I want my bible to be the most accurate so I can have the best instruction available. |
Bible Answer: You can learn about the principles of translation (this includes information on the textual basis of the NASB) which the NASB translators subscribed to by reading the foreward to the NASB that appears in most editions of this translation. You can obtain a copy of the NASB translators by writing to The Lockman Foundation, PO Box 2279, La Habra, CA 90632-2279, by telephone at 714-879-3055, or by e-mail at www.Lockman.org. --Hank |
