LSB Translation Notes Available As In-Line Notes in your Bible!
The Master’s Seminary has announced that The Tyndale Center’s translation team, which oversaw the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Translation, is releasing translation notes for all 66 books of the Bible! As of now they have released Matthew-Romans. https://tyndale.tms.edu/
I have been compiling these notes into a Notebook Document and have decided to share them (inspired by what Wesley W. Weber Jr. did with the Westminster Confession of Faith).
To add this Notebook to your own documents: Select the Documents icon in the sidebar...select "Public"...search for "LSB Translation"...select "Add to your docs".
I will continue updating this document as The Tyndale Center releases additional books of the Bible.

I got a copy of this. Thank you.
Did you intentionally anchor it to the LSB instead of the verses themselves? Just wondering. If so, I will buy the LSB and try it.
Also, thank you for using Red 4-prong stars. . I am using yellow stars for the Westminster Shorter (in process), and another color when I do the Larger.
Blessings!
Wes.
Another quick comment on the notes:
When using dark mode (using dark mode can extend your laptop battery usage by ~10%), the text links are kind of hard to see. It is fine, they are still visible... but the color of the link is different than what the Westminster Confession In Line Notes defaulted to (see attached image).
Blessings, and thanks again for this. I got a copy of the LSB.
Interesting. These are how my links look in dark mode.
Now, when I look at the same note, it is working... notice how hovering over the verse, Logos is now linking the verse to my ESV.
But for Mark 15:35, it is linking the text link to biblia.com. It looks like when it detects an external link it is black, but if it links to a resource it is the light blue color. See attached.

Aaron, any idea what the Tyndale Center's translation team has in mind for these translation notes? I wonder if they would eventually monetize them, and release them onto Logos for purchase (as they did the LSB version) since they have the contents protected on their website under the heading:
Copyright © 2023 The Tyndale Center at The Master's Seminary. All rights reserved.
Unlike the Confession (which has long been in the public domain) these translation notes seem to be proprietary. I could be mistaken, but, if you haven't, it might be worth reaching out to them and letting them know that they are now available on Logos apart from the seminary's website.
Hopefully, they would be delighted, as there is a wealth of info in them.
Just a thought, and I appreciate the work you are doing here.

I would advise to contact them seeking permission to do this- it may prevent any problems for you personally, and harm their relationship with Logos, just saying.
I have numerous PBB and Notebook study guides, with material that I received personal permission to create Logos material out of- but no privilege to distribute.

Yes agreed. I reached out just a bit ago.
Good idea. Ask for grace and forgivness if needed.
I did not ask for grace and forgiveness but I did inform them that I have shared my compilation of their freely offered Translation Notes to Logos users....and have offered to take the notes document down if they wish for me to do so. I have not heard back from them yet.

Hopefully their response will be positive and you can continue.
Translation notes have been added for 1 & 2 Corinthians. I have also gone through and fixed any reference links that were not working properly.
I have repeatedly followed up with The Master's Seminary and The Tyndale Center regarding my request for official permission to share my compilation of their translation notes with Logos users and have only heard back from them as follows, "someone from The Tyndale Center will be reaching out to you shortly."
My source for compiling these translation notes can be found here.
I am running Logos 10 and cannot get this to be added to my library even when I click add to your device is just simply will not add.
Check out this post and see if it helps.
Aaron, thank you for this service. My students here in Europe told me about it. I tried to go to documents, public, search lsb, add to your documents.
It blinks like it is downloading for a second. But nothing downloads.
Any ideas?
Hi James. I am not sure. Maybe try other public documents and see if it is doing the same thing.
Thanks Aaron, it did the same thing when I downloaded words of Christ in the LSB public document - but it turns out here's what I had to do
Go to documents.logos.com where the document was showing but as a private document with all the other notebooks that I have (seven I think). On the far right I had to pull down "Action" and click on make a private copy. When I did that - after a few minutes the notes 'magically' appeared. Thanks so much. Hope this is helpful to other if they face the same problem.
Weird that I had to go online to see my documents (documents.logos.com) when they didn't show up in my program.

The notes are very clear and easy to understand. I would be very gald to purchase if it could be a single resource. I really appreciate my dear brother for the great job you have made. God bless you!
Blessings in Christ.

@Aaron Sauer they said they would follow up if there was a problem?
Aaron
You’ve been down this road before and done what you needed to do. These notes are freely available online and aren’t sold in any books. Even the LSB bit doesn’t contain these notes nor does the study bible.
I appreciate your work and thank you for it. If a Faithlife employee has concerns, I’m sure they still contact you privately.
Thank you @Aaron Sauer.
This is awesome! Thanks so much!
