We just finished giving our second NLTSB Webinar for the public and had a lot of good interaction and questions from those participating. Thanks, everyone, for coming and making the webinar very enjoyable.

For those of you who were present: What comments, feedback, and suggestions would you give us about the webinar?

For those who weren't present, and those who were, and those who made it right when it was over (you know who you are): Should we do more NLTSB webinars in the future? If so, what kinds of topics for discussion would you like us to address?

During my blog delinquency (there ought to be a sniglet for that. If not, maybe bloglinquency would work), a number of reviews of the NLT Study Bible have been popping up online over the past month, especially, since Laura Bartlett sent several review copies to other bloggers. Here are a few (and I'll keep adding more):

ElShaddai Edwards posted some initial thoughts about the NLT Study Bible's focus on historical context. He later posted comparisons of the NLT Study Bible with other study Bibles.

Somewhat related to the NLT Study Bible, Rick Mansfield posted what appears to have become an influential article about the rise of the NLT. A few days later, Rick posted his review of the NLT Study Bible itself.

Brian Fulthorp posted some thoughts about our treatment of Gen 1:1–2:3.

Somewhat related, Laura Bartlett's NLT Study Bible Seminar + Giveaway! has been generating a lot of good questions about the NLT Study Bible. We will be addressing many of these questions over the coming days.

Are there other reviews that I have missed?

After a pretty intense couple of months of development, the Online NLT Study Bible is now available. You can sign up for 30 days for free, after which you'll need an access code. Every printed NLT Study Bible comes with an access code that gives you permanent full access to the Online edition.

Please come take a look around and tell me what you think, what we've done well, and what we can improve. What features would you most like to see in the Online NLT Study Bible?

In the last couple of weeks I’ve been delinquent from my blog while helping Tyndale’s web development team to create the online edition of the NLT Study Bible. It’s been a lot of fun to work on this project — seeing the NLT Study Bible take shape as a web application is exciting, and I enjoy working with an enthusiastic and talented team of people like this one. It’s also interesting to see the similarities and differences between print design & typesetting and web design & programming.

Here are a couple of highlights about the online edition:

• Permanent registration for those who buy the print edition.
• It includes all of the features of the print edition.
• Fully searchable NLT text (of course!).
• Linking of all Bible references.
• The ability to create personal study notes (not right at launch, but in a later release).
• Full print resolution maps, illustrations, and other visual aids (for personal or ministry use).

One of our goals with the online edition is to give people a variety of ways to connect with the NLT Study Bible personally and experientially. I’m not allowed to say more than that right now, but I stay tuned to this blog and the NLT blog for updates over the next few weeks and months.
