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.

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,
Alan
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.
pretty please?
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!
Since I went looking for this again today, and since there has still been no response to this subject by Logos here or elsewhere as far as I can see, I'll add my request for J.B. Phillips translation too. Too bad someone hadn't produced it with PBB.
Everyone who replies here is sending a personal request via suggest@logos.com right?
btw I'm interested too! [Y]
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.

Peace to you, Alex, Logos Forum Neighbour just to the East of me! And Joy in the Lord!
I've prayed for you a number of times re. the issue you mentioned recently. That the Holy Spirit would bathe you and your household in Peace and Joy!
Anyway, re. the J.B. Phillips translation .... CCEL has an excellent rendition of that! *smile*

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"?

BTW - I've put that site on my Logos 4 Shortcut Bar, and it is fastloading, so I almost have it in my Logos Resources. A Logos version would be far better though!
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 just followed your link to the Logos Site. According to that, the Gospel of John was not finished when Jordan died....
Just what N.T. Books does the Cotton-Patch-Gospel contain, please???
Here's the expanded TOC:
Thanks, Rosie! That is very helpful!
I just now put it on my Logos wish list on OneNote2010. Very handy because I can keep changing things around on OneNote by dragging and dropping as I change my mind about what I desire most! *smile*
Now to budget my dollars to acquire some of my desires and wishes.
It helps that the Canadian Dollar has been above par with the U.S. Dollar lately.
Peace and Joy in the Lord, Rosie!
[:D][Y]
Alistair Begg often quotes it...and he is one of my favorite preachers.
JBP has always been one of my favorite paraphrases...

I hope that when Logos implements wishlists for the website they will allow us to move things up and down in priority, like we can drag things around to reorganize our Favorites, Notes, etc. But using OneNote for now seems like a good solution. I've been keeping my wishlist in a Draft email message in Outlook (that's what I use for all my temporary notes to myself; because I have Outlook running all the time).
That's nice to hear about. I hadn't been paying attention. Hmm, maybe it's time to splurge on some more Logos books...
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]
Thanks Alan! I was looking for 2Cor 4:9 from Phillips, did a google search and landed on your post. You gotta love technology!
Much love,
Al J
Yes, Phillip's paraphrase would be a gem for Logos. Also don't forget his paraphrase of the minor prophets. Another gem as well!

Milford
Thanks for that link. [:D]
It is far handier than having to reach for my hardback print copies every time I want to checkout JB Phillips' paraphrase.
Here's my favourite bit from it.
4:7-13 - This priceless treasure we hold, so to speak, in a common earthenware jar - to show that the splendid power of it belongs to God and not to us. We are handicapped on all sides, but we are never frustrated; we are puzzled, but never in despair. We are persecuted, but we never have to stand it alone: we may be knocked down but we are never knocked out! Every day we experience something of the death of the Lord Jesus, so that we may also know the power of the life of Jesus in these bodies of ours. Yes, we who are living are always being exposed to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be plainly seen in our mortal lives. We are always facing death, but this means that you know more and more of life. Our faith is like that mentioned in the scripture: 'I believed and therefore I spoke'.
It just seems to capture the tone and mood and wordplay of the original. καταβαλλόμενοι ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἀπολλύμενοι
Every blessing

Every Blessing to you, also, Alan!
You are most welcome. I find it indeed very handy on the "shortcut" bar. *smile*
Here is my most favourite from Romans 12:1:
12:1-2 - With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I beg you, my brothers, as an act of intelligent worship, to give him your bodies, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to him and acceptable by him. Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all his demands and moves towards the goal of true maturity.
Peace to you! And! Joy in the Lord always!
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! [:)]
I find it indeed very handy on the "shortcut" bar.
How do you do that? I've tried dragging it but it won't stick.
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.

Hi Alan! Peace to you! And Joy for This Day!
*smile*
It has been a long time, so decided to do it over to see if I still could.
1. I opened the Phillips Website. (This is the "broader" Phillips site, not just the N.T. - Wanted access to more of his works!) Minimised it!
2. Opened Logos 4.
3. With the Phillips site (minimised!) on top of Logos 4, simply dragged the Icon to my shortcut bar.
Here is a screen shot. (You will see two Philipps' icons on this screen shot. After I post this, I will delete the second one.)
Other than that, Alan, I have no other ideas about how to help you. *smile*
When Milford says to drag the icon, he means the icon to the left of the URL on the address bar.
To do this, you need to be able to see both windows at the same time. Putting the browser on top (not 'minimized' to the task bar, just not 'maximized'). Then left-click and drag to the Logos4 short-cut bar. This is a little easier with two monitors (the browser in one monitor, L4 in the other).
EDIT: Hmm. Just noticed you're running a Mac. I'm not sure this can be done on L4 for Mac. Check with the Mac dev's.
Richard and Milford
Thanks for your advice. It doesn't stick on the Mac Shortcut Bar.
I'll raise it with the Mac Developers.
Peace, Alan! *smile*
That's unfortunate..............
However, it's just a matter of time; and we've all appreciated even more the things we've waited for, eh?
Blessings and Joy in the Lord!
