One of my fellow-editors at Tyndale House recently gave me the following quotation, saying that it reminded him of me and the NLT Study Bible:
In the NLT Study Bible, our aim is to make the text of Scripture faithfully and freely available to the reader without forcing or imposing theological connections. Our hope is that it will help enable the readers to do biblical theology that truly matters in their own lives and the world in which they live.
If we are to do biblical theology that matters, the book in its peculiar, distinctive, exacting cadences spills into the world. It is the work and privilege of those who trust this book to be able to line out the saving truth of this text without excessive effort at relevance, without overwrought efforts to connect to contemporaneity, because when the text is faithfully and freely available, it enables connections that need not be forced or imposed.Walter Brueggemann,

All I can say is that, as a fan of the NLT, I'm REALLY excited about this study Bible.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Grace & peace,
