I wanted to learn more about the Holy Bible: Mosaic NLT so I signed up for the tour. I was unfamiliar with the New Living Translation, since I mostly use the King James Version and the NKJV Bibles. I come with an open mind and heart to further my knowledge of God’s Word.
About NLT
The New Living Translation, was first published in 1996. There have been several updates with the goal of creating easy-to-read, understandable text, conveying the meaning and content of the ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to aid the contemporary English readers. This version is recommended for Bible study, devotional reading and for reading aloud in worship services.
My Thoughts
I am not a theological student or professional Bible scholar, and I know little about “formal-equivalence” and “dynamic equivalence translations,” but I do know that the NLT has been created to relay a contemporary English text so that you and I can more easily understand God‘s Word. I have found the Mosaic to be beautifully written and well thought out. I applaud each and every member on the Bible Translation Team for doing such a great job.
The Mosaic has many wonderful features such as hymns, poems, prayers, etc. all ranging from ancient past time lines. You can learn more about the NLT in the introduction. I believe the Mosaic will be helpful in my daily walk with Christ, as I reflect on God’s Word.
Why not, check out the Holy Bible: Mosaic web for more information and free downloads.You can try the Mosaic Online for free, read the first chapter and/or watch the video at Youtube.com. Mosaic can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook.com and other fine book stores online.

Congratulations to ...
- There has been significant discussion in the last years about the lack of attention to the perspective of women in Church history. How much of an effort, if any, was given to this concern in the development of this version. (It sounds fantastic, by the way!). Thanks!

Will you ever make a Chronological version of this Bible?
How did the idea for the Mosaic Bible come about?

How long did it take to get this Bible all together?
How did you decide which ancient texts to translate from? How much discussion surrounded this question? Also, is any space given to alternate translations of certain texts?

This sounds amazing, is it appropriate for seminary students? Or is it not "advanced" enough?
I like EllyBean's question too!

I prefer anything natural.I follow you on Twitter as opalbaker.
Which text was this taken from and how true is the translation?
Do you personally feel a peace contrat between Palestine and ISrael will come about within the next year?
I have read mostly NKJV Bibles, is there much that I can learn (being easier to understand) from this translation? I am always looking to learn more about and have a deeper understanding of the Bible.

Would there be any benefit to using this for a Bible Study Group over another NLT?

What criteria did you use to decide which poems and hymns to include in the Mosaic Bible?

Would this be a good version for a devoted Bible reader of over 25 year? i.e. will they still be be able to learn from it.
Thanks

Thanks for all the interest in this Bible and all of the great questions! I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get over here and provide some answers.
I'll try to address all of the questions as concisely as possible, so I'm going to end up combining some of them.
Some of the questions about the Bible, such as what manuscripts were used and the translation philosophy employed, are best answered at the NLT's FAQ page.
Holy Bible: Mosaic was the result of a few ideas being melded together, beginning in the summer of 2006 and culminating with publication in September 2009--a total of over three years of development. All of the content was chosen because it represents a strand of the Christian tradition that everyone could learn seomthing from, and the particular contribution of each piece relates to the week's theme in a poignant way. We did our best to draw from as diverse a pool of contributors as possible, including men and women from every century of Christian history and as many cultural backgrounds as possible.
I think the content is well suited for any adult and young adult Christian; new believers can benefit from it, but even the most seasoned and educated believer will be able to engage God and his Word in a significant way through the content.
It is not a study Bible, and I can't see how a chronological version would work. But I do think Mosaic can work very well in a Bible study setting as a jumping off point for discussion.
