Lexham Press currently has no plans to release a print version of the Lexham English Bible. We've had conversations about it and it's been one of our most consistent customer requests, but the logistics of developing, printing, and marketing a new Bible translation are significant barriers to moving ahead with the project.

One idea is Community pricing of a Lexham English Bible with Faithlife Study Bible notes in an imitation leather binding with 10 point text. Another Community Pricing item could be a Pew Bible. Winning bidders could receive a coupon for use at ChristianBook.com for community price of print bible (allows customer to combine with other items for physical shipping).
Noticed ChristianBook.com has NIV & NKJV Illustrated Faithlife Study Bibles.

I believe the LEB is being constantly tweaked which is not a bad thing but if many changes are made it night irk those with a hard cover in that it was not what is now online in their FL software. Perhaps the changes are less than I had be thinking but I am not 100% sure that if they wanted a printed copy they have things exactly as they would want it before releasing it. I remember within the last year someone bringing up an absolutely horrible rendering and I thought it was agree that it should be reviewed and changed. While little goof ups may be rare it led me to feel it likely needed some more polishing.

I have decided to work on a print version for myself- its not that difficult- just deciding on formatting, then getting the right paper for my laser printer, already have someone who will doing the binding. Looking to make it approx. the same size as my current NASB version, with single column and side margin for footnotes.

Are you taking orders?

@Jake
The License for the LEB provides for 50% content for a non-profit, and 25% content for a for-profit work to be used. for the 50% content non-profit level it explicitly lists a diglot full bible as a possibility.
Is it a stretch of either the 25% or 50% grant of license to produce a multi-volume work, in which 1 volume is a complete LEB Bible, and the 2nd (through 4th for a profit venture) volumes of equal or greater size are other Bibles (KJV, etc.?) I think I read it is specifically allowed and encouraged, but it represents a risk I'm unwilling to take without confirmation.0 -
Jake, it's been a couple years since the last update and I thought to ask if there is any plans to have the LEB in print?
I'm so grateful to God raising you guys up in creating the only formal equivalence translation vanguarding in translating the Tetragrammaton significantly more accurate than the longheld tradition of The LORD. I think this is the most powerful feature from the LEB becoming our generation's go to translation since previous generations translations fell short at this point. And I believe it will bring the Church to a deeper experiential understanding of what was going through the mind of the ancient Israelite, helping remove our incorrect modern perception that back then everyone had the same notion we have today when we read The LORD or God instead of the Tetragrammaton.
If in your reply there are still no plans, would you continue promoting your team in praying unto this?
Brother, thank you so much for everything you and your team do. You guys are amazing. [Y]

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for checking in with us. I have no new news to report on this front. We've continued to have internal discussions about publishing the LEB in print but haven't committed to anything.

What about the idea of another printing company being licensed to produce an LEB? There are others of course but what immediately comes to mind is Cambridge. They print numerous versions of the Bible in their own layout and design.

To my mind, it's a book, and you already have the text. I mean, it's a long book, but are there necessarily significantly more challenging logistics to developing, printing, and marketing a print LEB relative to some other print book? Faithlife seems to offer progressively more print books as the years pass, so it seems to have the capacity to develop, print, and market books in a profitable manner... there are probably some important things I'm missing here.

If there is an app that converts the EPUB format to a Word document for printing (with footnotes on the same page) on a regular bond paper, would you use it? Does anyone know if there is a high demand for this? I

This is off-topic and really should be a new thread, but there already are (free) apps/programs that convert EPUBs to Word and other formats.

Thanks. I don't find the output of those apps useful.

Did you happen to complete this? If so, how did it go? Any chance you'd be willing to email it to myself?
I downloaded a couple different file versions of the LEB and they all look horribly clunky in any program that I use, and then trying to get that to print would be a nightmare.
Thanks, brother.

I think that the new "Legacy Standard Bible" is similar to the LEB.

Robert thank you so much for replying to this tread! Finally a printed version of the Bible that does not uses less accurate LORD but the more accurate Yahweh instead of the Tetragrammaton. In ANE, a name captures the character personality of a person and LORD is not at the core of the character personality in who God is. In Exodus 34:6 God himself defines his name. And Yahweh passed over before him, and he proclaimed, “Yahweh, Yahweh, God, who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger,[b] and abounding with[c] loyal love and faithfulness,
But we see him more as a LORD because that's what we have been reading in printed versions for 2,000 years. If Yahweh or YHWH would have been there instead, we would be more close today in seeing Him as a compassionate and gracious, slow to anger God since that is who he himself said he is when he revealed his name (character) to Moses.

I can't resist a bit of teasing ... where are you from that you had printed version not only before Gutenberg but even before the Chinese invented the printing press? [;)]

Just upload it to CreateSpace and print om demand. Costsbtou next to nothing and those of us who are old and like paper can have our Bibleband morning coffee. I have used NET and it really isnt the same. I prefer to read LEB WAY WAY WAY more. I guess since you havent ill have to find a peinter service. Uhg.

All things are possible to those who believe. Have faith in God and get to work! :-D
If it's highly demanded then people will highly compensate your efforts.0 -

Don't think this statement is going to age well.

I posted this in another thread recently. I thought I would post it here, too. Please forgive the repetition. A print version is an essential tool for the day in which we are living.
"I have been looking for a new Bible and the LEB is exactly what I have been praying for. I would absolutely love to have this in print version. The clarity it provides is found to be liberating. Using “Yahweh” in countless places brings a level of personality and closeness that I have found lacking in other translations over the decades. The LEB also drives home the reality of the divine council worldview, which I feel has been largely missed at a cost to the life of the church and her mission that has been given to her. The LEB is a missing component in the larger meta-narrative that I believe is missing in our communication of the Gospel. It is what the world is hungry for today. The Grand Narrative is not being clearly communicated. The LEB is a crucial missing component…in my humble opinion. To not have it available for people to read in their hands seems a little short sighted as to its importance today. "0 -
I'm with you on this. Would love to have a print version of the LEB.

Agreed. Thanks for posting. I don’t want to be annoying but I am convinced this would be a helpful tool for today and the days ahead.

No I did not pursue it, did not want to get into any legal issues or payments- so sticking with LSB, ESV and NASB20 in paper for church bibles, as loose leaf versions for study and notes- these get transferred to Logos notes.

Add my voice for the LEB print version. LEB is my number one bible in the software and seems a shame I carry another bible to church.
