We are currently working on it and publishing the individual booklets as they are completed (1&2 Samuel is going to be released this fall), but at this time we do not have a projected date for its completion (likely at least more than a year before it’s completed from what I can tell). Between the long process of the writing itself, there’s the addition of the imprimatur process, which also adds to the delay.<br />Marianne pedrelli.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976984985494558480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-21865852938113680332016-06-20T08:12:22.781-07:002016-06-20T08:12:22.781-07:00Thanks for all you have done and good luck and God...Thanks for all you have done and good luck and Godspeed to you and your familyJason Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-19187218656497898452016-06-18T06:35:33.775-07:002016-06-18T06:35:33.775-07:00Guten Tag, Timothy

The fact that there is a blog and there´s an individual who spends hours and hours including `Herzblut`, as we say in German (heartblood, or, better life–blood), is worth words of gratitude. This website was always open on my laptop, together with BiblesWiki (where most of my contributions go) and the non-catholic Bible Hunter. Some of my English Bibles I purchased after I had read the respective article on CB, and only recently I was lucky to find the Douay / Westminster HB for under € 10.- from a British seller! I do earnestly hope you will return online after the sabbatical! Unfortunately we do not have a similar page in German. As my home is not in the r.–c. church, (but I read, pray and study with all kinds of Bible translations) I am not qualified to open up a specific r.–c. website. So this CB is unique and needs to be kept alive! I will definitely miss it!! Thanks & be blessed!

I came upon your blog more recently -- about 2 years ago, I think -- and I've learned a great deal since then, thanks to you and your knowledgeable commenters! You convinced me to give the NRSV a try, and thanks to Rolf, I bought a copy of the REB and fell in love with that translation. It's now the primary bible I read each day. <br /><br />It's hard to overstate how much your blog has deepened my biblical knowledge and given me tools to study the bible in greater depth. Thank you for everything! And if you do decide to return to blogging or allow other readers to contribute, I would eagerly welcome it! <br /><br />Congratulations on the newest addition to your family, and best wishes as you move into a new home!<br /><br />wxmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930662690945293996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-68458858431503316992016-06-10T12:08:22.596-07:002016-06-10T12:08:22.596-07:00Cheers mate, dear across the River friend.

Solicit your readers to review or share news. This administrator can collect posts and publish them. All it would take is finding that person and then letting them have a go at it for awhile. If content isn't forthcoming, no harm. If it does, it may give you the break you need and allow you to resume contributions on a limited basis.<br />KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-50795843853748028882016-06-09T06:06:36.873-07:002016-06-09T06:06:36.873-07:00Timothy thank you so much for the last eight years...Timothy thank you so much for the last eight years.

I understand why you're taking a sabbatical; but I'm selfish enough to wish the reasons you're doing it had never occurred to you. The one bright spot - as I'm fast running out of shelf space, your absence may reduce the rate at which I've been accumulating Bibles. <br /><br />Thank you so much, and God bless you and yours. <br /><br />JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-48446623852249799412016-06-06T16:23:06.768-07:002016-06-06T16:23:06.768-07:00Tim,
