Work on this revision began in 1989 with ninety translators it was published in July 1996, 25 years after the publication of The Living Bible. The New Testament translation was based on the two standard editions of the Greek New Testament (the UBS 4th revised edition and the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 27th edition).
The Old Testament translation was based on the Masoretic Text ( Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia) and was further compared to other sources such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint, Greek manuscripts, Samaritan Pentateuch, Syriac Peshitta, and Latin Vulgate. It has been suggested that this "thought-for-thought" methodology, while making the translation easier to understand, is less accurate than a literal (formal equivalence) method, and thus the New Living Translation may not be suitable for those wishing to undertake detailed study of the Bible. A part of the reasoning behind adapting the language for accessibility is the premise that more people will hear the Bible read aloud in a church service than are likely to read it or study it on their own. The method combined an attempt to translate the original texts simply and literally with a dynamic equivalence synergy approach used to convey the thoughts behind the text where a literal translation may have been difficult to understand or even misleading to modern readers. The New Living Translation used translators from a variety of Christian denominations. The first NLT edition retains some stylistic influences of the LB, but these are less evident in text revisions that have been published since. This effort eventually led to the creation of the NLT-a new translation separate from the LB. The origin of the NLT came from a project aiming to revise The Living Bible (TLB). Published in 1996 by Tyndale House Foundation, the NLT was created "by 90 leading Bible scholars." The NLT relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The New Living Translation ( NLT) is a translation of the Bible in contemporary English.
