Please “Logosify” J.B. Phillips’ wonderful translation The New Testament in Modern English – his classic phrasing of Rom 12:2 ("Don't let the world squeeze you into its mold…”) is a gem and is often quoted.
+1
Yes!
New word alert -- "Logosify." Rosie of the Merriam-Webster Reserve coining new words. [:D]

Every noun can be verbified. ;-) And lots of nounish adjectives can be made up, too.
Can every verb be nounified?
Yes, you just gerund it. A gerund is the "ing" noun form of a verb. Thus:
to verb - verb is a verb hereI am verbing - verbing is still a verb hereverbing is fun - verbing is a gerund here, and thus is a noun
See, we started with a verb (well, a verbified noun) and came up with a noun. Aren't grammer wunderfull? [;)]

Bump....
Please release this important translation. To be honest, I am shocked that it is not already available considering how often it is quoted.
Absolutely! [Y] I've already asked for this in two other posts! [:D] Viz. http://community.logos.com/forums/t/12425.aspx and http://community.logos.com/forums/t/12928.aspx
Another wonderful gem from 2 Cor 4:9 – we may be knocked down but we are never knocked out!
Every blessing,

This would be a valuable addition--even after all these years.
Considering that it's available in 'lesser regarded' products, I'm also surprised that this excellent resource isn't in Logos.
In addition to his New Testament, his Four Prophets (Hosea, Micah, Amos & 1st Isaiah) would be a welcome addition.
I totally agree. I find his translation extremely interesting. In researching Acts 8, he is the only translator to quote Peter as having told Simon Magus: To Hell with you and your money. This is precisely what Peter was saying to him which is why nearly every commentator refers to the Phillips translation on this section. It is elegant, accurate, and easy to understand. A great addition to our digital library....long, long overdue!
Online Bible has J.B. Philips New Testament this is an example of why I can't yet delete the Online Bible from my system.

Bump.... Please release this important translation. To be honest, I am shocked that it is not already available considering how often it is quoted.
You took the "shock" right out of my mouth!
Let me huzzuh the previous "Four Prophets" suggestion and add "Your God Is Too Small" to the mix. In fact, why not bundle the three together...which leads me to ask:
Btw, couldn't this bundle be offered on CP?
...and taking it a step further...
...can one describe the process as "nounifiedization"?
Count me in as those who would like 'NTME' added. There, I've even given you the acrostic. Had to buy 'Your God Is Too Small' on Kindle, would prefer to have had it in my Logos library. His is the best paraphrase, Just a note, if it's good enough for Barnhouse it's good enough for me.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until this gets released, we can always enjoy the Cotton Patch Gospel! [:P]

I am for ordering it on prepub.
Although, I'd also like to see Ronald Knox's translation from the Vulgate as well.
I'd purchase this free translation. Course, I would like to see Ronald Knox's free translation of the Vulgate also.
Count me in![Y]
I love J.B. Phillip's translation of Romans 16:16: "Give each other a hearty handshake all round for my sake"
This is SO much more English than the "Greet one another with a holy kiss." (NIV), and, as an Englishman, I am sure that this is what Paul would have written if only he hadn't been an excitable foreigner! [:)]
It has been a while since I have posted here and we still do not have this available on Logos...I wonder what the problem is.
Keep Smiling [:)]
Also +1 for J. B. Phillips' New Testament Please.
Over two years of requests with no response. I have to say that this is very disappointing to me personally. We are talking about an oft-quoted work here.
A digital copy of it is available here, This is the 1962 edition, so it's still under copyright, but I made a PB of it for myself.
The Logos manager responsible for contracting suggested resources once posted in this thread and clarified that they take up all suggestions that come in here (as well as through emails). As there's no reason for Logos to not have a wide-spread bible resource, I can only imagine that the copyrights-holders are not interested in getting this into Logos (note that Phillips is available for at least one major competitor), or the contract negotiations took longer than expected.
These things may be slow - the recently announced Patristics series took one year from contact to start of Pre-Pub with - what they tell - all sides positively interested in the project.
Made a very good PBB of Phillip's NT uses this material http://www.ccel.org/bible/phillips/JBPNT.htm
Works well!
[Y] would like this
Why O why Logos have you not added this translation?
Allow me to extol the virtue of publicly posting an email address on one's Faithlife profile page. It allows others to communicate with you when the forums aren't appropriate.
so how to tag this special verse?
Yes - would love to see this in Logos. I keep my hardbound copy close to my desk - it is always a part of my survey through translations whenever I start work on a new NT passage.
Yes, I would like to have this in my collection as well. Please release this.
me too
I am shocked that this is not in Logos. Please get it, and his translation of Four Prophets as well.
There is a pre-pub for Phillips New Testament: Revised Student Edition. Apparently the WordSearch owners got a temporary epub version and the Logos Edition is on pre-pub. The metadata on the current product page details has metadata for the epub, per note at top of the page. I am assuming when it's fully baked, it will be Type: Bible.

It is great to see this finally come to Logos! For years I have used a personal book that I made but a Logos edition will be much better.
45 years ago, the hope was he was going to write an Old Testament also, with the name being Phillips 66. Some of you may be to young to understand but It was funny then.
I really wish that he would have been able to accomplish that goal.
Phillips 66 [:D]
You talk about it as if it's in the past. The brand still exists now, though perhaps not as widespread as it once was.
And just to check if it's really still around, I looked it up in GasBuddy. Yup, it's there.
I signed up for pre-pub version, and it's no longer listed in my account. Link above doesn't exist.
any update on this?
it's no longer listed in my account.
Same here, Mike.
I thought they send emails when a pre-pub is given the heave-ho. Maybe they haven't sent it yet (or I overlooked it), or maybe the pre-pub will re-appear with some changes, etc.
After a week or so of unsuccessfully checking-back and making alternate searches for a new posting of the previously rubbed-out pre-pub (which had been requested by many for many years) and no email notification of why the product was pulled, I am now officially giving up. I can only conclude that there's some mysterious dark cloud hanging over this little resource that FL just doesn't want to talk about. I'll have to be content with the PB I made.
