Translations

|
I'm pretty new to the Daily Audio Bible. I've only been listening for a couple of months. I really like the way the DAB uses lots of different translations whether The Message; The NLT; The NIV... Well you all know that anyway. I like the different perspectives it brings and gives a deep sense scripture. All this said, there is a translation which I would really like to hear which is missing: The Good News Bible. It is a translation that has meant a lot to me and it would be wonderful to hear Brian read it. There might be copyright problems or something of that ilk I suppose but is there any chance?
Peace and Love,
Will

The Good News bible is, well, not exactly a scholarly bible, and I feel therefore that Hardin might not desire to read from it. Nonetheless, I don't know what Brian Hardin's perspective is on this matter, but the translations read from have been scholarly ones, whereas the Good News Bible is technically a paraphrase bible.
Grace and peace be with you in our LORD Jesus Christ,

Bibleman, I can't answer for Brian, but the Message is also a paraphrase Bible, so I don't think that being a paraphrase Bible would stop him. The Message is probably the most paraphrased Bible ever written, IMO.

Actually the Good News Bible has been read from every year of the DAB so far. I don't know if it will come up this year or not but it's not a paraphrase. The Good News Bible is a simple language Bible but it's a full translation from the American Bible Society. The only paraphrase is The Message although Eugene Peterson actually has a masters in semitic languages so although he's paraphrasing he's going to the original language. The Message is in a lesser rotation than it's been in other years. I love reading from it but as I pondered the word Advance and as I prayed over this years reading schedule it was rotated less than other years.
I do think the Good News Bible shows it's face at some point.
Blessings
Brian
