Lenski's commentary on the NT includes his translation of each verse. He is one of the few guys that translates participles correctly, and I'd love to have a stand-alone Lenski translation of the NT. I believe this could be done by copying and pasting from his commentary to create a personal book. I figured that someone would have done this already, but I can't find anything one the web. Has anybody ever heard of a translation being assembled from a commentary? For this to be publishable what might be involved as far as copywrites, etc?

    Why not compile the personal book yourself? It's for your personal use anyway. Personally with the translation in his commentaries that's good enough for me, anything else is extra work.  Maybe if there was a high demand for it the publisher would have already published a New Testament Lenski translation :) email the publisher they might say something.

    A Lenski translation would be a great personal book project but it would take some time to go through every phrase, selecting, cutting and pasting into a docx document. I wonder if there are any copies of his entire text on-line someplace. A quick Google search didn't reveal anything for me.
