Many have wondered if Lockman is phasing out the NASB 95 in favor of the NASB 2020. Some have also asked if the Prime Editions and the Stridon will ever be offered in the 95. Also will Lockman ever print the LSB? All these questions are answered in this video.

I'm very glad that Lockman will continue publishing the NASB95. I already own a few nice ones, but I'm thinking about purchasing a cheap one that has the same exact layout and format as one of my Allan Bibles.
I love that Lockman is taking the approach of introducing change without scraping what’s before. They are very unique in that regard. I think it shows humility in the fact that not all change is good change no matter how well intended. Something Biblica unfortunately didn’t consider with the NIV.
brother thank you for sharing this. the gender bending confusion and its affect on bible translations have given me debilitating anxiety. in africa many rely on NIV for its easy english. but since 2011 edition came about, ive had to discourage its use. modern secular america's obsession with retconning language has affected the church. and it is relief to know that lockman has allowed the LSB to be produced, and is committed to keep selling the nasb 95. I dont know if i can recommend the 2020 version. the changes in it are i think unwarranted. and im glad that the esv nkjv have not changed. and the kjv is still widely available. im glad the nasb 95 will continue to be available.
Our worry is that the 1995 will go the way of the 1977; Lockman doesn't print it anymore. However, the 1995 was so similar to the 1977 that it could be seen as a minor update. The 2020, however, almost seems--to use your words--like "a new translation." Its changes are of a different nature than those which occurred in 1995 and prior. So it is a relief, at least for the next few years, that Lockman will continue to print new editions of the 1995.
Scott Shirley Review. I’m hanging onto my older translation Bibles. I don’t like what they’ve done to the NRSV UE in certain key passages and I wonder if newer translations will all go that way following the culture but not God.
I own the 77 NASB Thompson Chain and the AMG, giant print. I prefer the 77 over the 95 probably because when I read the NASB for the first time, the 95 didn't exist yet. 😅
Since the making of this video, I can confirm that the 95s will not be offered in Prime or Stridon editions. I knew this would happen once the 2020 was announced.
The Stridon was never really on the table to begin with. But I was really hoping they would do Primes in the the 95. It would make sense since they are retypesetting them. Unless that is also being abandoned.
Perhaps Tim can get an answer (which I cannot) from Lockman? When will the excellent and inexpensive (£15/$20) NASB 1995 Side-Column Reference Bible be resumed? This is the Bible that I used to place, with great success, with serious students both Christian and other.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Thank you for replying. I suspected as much : the business end of the publishing game is being abandoned - I mean the task of getting good and affordable serious Bibles into the handles of serious folk who cannot afford premium Bibles. Sad day for the NASB.
That's good news to know that the Lockman Foundation will keep the 1995 edition. The 95 update has a sizeable market, so if they forced people to update to a version they didn't want would have caused a lot of people to go with other translations. I believe that is what happened with the NIV, many people eventually went over to the ESV. Lockman should consider printing a few 77 editions. I like to see that version with some variety particularly black text letter. That also has me thinking: I like my Bibles with bold black letter text (esp 10/11 font size), so would Lockman print more New American Standard Bibles particularly in the 1995 version with black text letter?
Tim, thank you for this insightful series. As a big fan of the 95 NASB, I feel somewhat relieved by Mr. Lambeth's responses. The NASB Topaz is coming out this fall. I wonder if Cambridge is going to use the 95 or the 20 version of translation?
I’d guess it will be the 95, but it’s possible Cambridge has contracted the 2020 as well. Reply to this comment tomorrow to remind me and I will email and ask.

Glad Lockman will still print the NASB '95. That and the NKJV is my favorite translation. LSB KJV and ESV are also top favorites as well
You're interviews are great! Definitely enjoying these

Me too!
Wow, thanks for asking these questions Tim!
No problem!
How about Bible publishers open source the NASB 95 and other translations?
They have to protect their translations.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews No they don't. All it would take is making it read-only in a repo somewhere.
Great series, Time!
Thanks!
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Not, you... Time.
lol... I just realized I mispelled your name. I'll leave it for posterity 🤣🤣🤣
Glad Lockman is not doing away with the 1995 like Biblica did with the 1984 NIV.

Yeah, and if the Primes do well it will likely lead to new premiums!

Agree, this year I bought a few NASB 1995 to preserve for our family library! (in case they go out of print). Love their 1995 reference editions.
I own the 77 NASB Thompson Chain and the AMG, giant print. I prefer the 77 over the 95 probably because when I read the NASB for the first time, the 95 didn't exist yet. 😅

They do not have timelines on the 95s. Typesetting hasn’t even begun yet.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Thank you for replying. I suspected as much : the business end of the publishing game is being abandoned - I mean the task of getting good and affordable serious Bibles into the handles of serious folk who cannot afford premium Bibles. Sad day for the NASB.
I'm a new Christian is this a good bible to get?
This isn’t really featuring a bible, but any bible from Lockman would be an excellent choice.

I would assume yes since he mentioned typesetting then like the 2020.

Please ask Mr. Lambeth if Cambridge will publish the upcoming NASB Topaz in the 1995 or the 2020 version of the translation. Thank you.
Tim, Cambridge has confirmed that the NASB Topaz will be in the 2020 update. Very interesting.
