    The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) is a new English Bible translation by the faculty of "The Master's University & Seminary", which I've never heard of.

    Anyone know anything about this version?

    The Legacy Standard Bible is an update of the NASB95 (1995 New American Standard Bible). Some of it can be read online HERE. The full translation/revision of the Old Testament is not yet complete.

    I assume you only meant you had never heard of the LSB. If anyone has never heard of The Master’s University & Seminary, it is the school associated with John MacArthur and Grace Community Church.

    No; I actually hadn't heard of it, but I don't regularly listen to MacArthur. And I know nothing about it, whether it's legit or not.

    Thanx for providing the link. I don't have a NASV '95; mine are the older editions.

    Yes it is legitimate. It is also be sponsored by Lockman. They are funding it alongside the NASB 2020 update. The LSB is not going to have some of the gender issues that the new NAS update has. I don't know much more than that.

    It appears to be going back to more of the 1977 Nas for being literal, which is preferred to the 2020, which went to becoming their version of the Csb!

    Check it out, as looks like will be close to how the 1977 Nas rendered words and terms!
    main differences would be they will be using Yahweh as the name of the Lord, and render servant as being slaves of Christ!

    The preface is HERE, which gives a good deal of information. What is "legit" is very much in the eyes of the beholder. I could guess that one downside for those who are not MacArthur "fans" is that all the revisers have some connection to the Master’s University and Seminary.

    I'm neutral on MacArthur right now. I don't know enough about his beliefs to form an opinion. Perhaps I'll try to hear him more.

    I think I did not explain that well -- in that I meant the objection of some might not be specifically about John MacArthur, but more that many might object to a group of revisers all being part of just one tight-knit group, as opposed to being from a broader and more representative spectrum of scholars.

    I see. given the multiple English meanings of so many Hebrew, Aramaic, & Koine Greek words/phrases, an eclectic mix of translators who communicate with each other might be the best group to make a new English Bible translation. Meanwhile, I'll stick to the NKJV & old NASV.

    I am looking forward to it, as they seem to be taking the nas back towards reading more like the 1977 edition!

    No, Calvinism is false doctrine, based on reading man's speculation into scripture. Hardly a recommendation for a bible teacher.

    Don't we have enough trouble in the Versions forum without importing arguments from the Calvinism forum? Please stop.

    John 1:18, "No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him."

    ". . . only begotten God . . . ." Ah, no.

    Since the NASB20 is available on line and in book stores, there would seem to be nothing to recommend the LSB.
