The Lockman Foundation is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian ministry dedicated to the translation, publication, and distribution of Bibles and other biblical resources in English and other languages.[1] The foundation's core products are the New American Standard Bible and the Amplified Bible, both evolving from the 1901 American Standard Version. By 2009, the foundation had distributed about 25 million Bibles.[2]

The foundation was established in 1942 by F. Dewey Lockman (1898–1974) and his wife Minna Lockman when they donated part of their citrus ranch in La Habra, California.[3] Dewey Lockman led the foundation until his death, followed by Samuel Sutherland (1974–1979), and Robert Lambeth (1979–2017).[3][4] Robert Lambeth was a donor to all six seminaries of the Southern Baptist Convention.[4] The foundation reported assets of $13 million and employment of 12 staff for 2020.[5] Pike Lambeth has served full time as executive vice-president since at least 2009.[2][5]

The declared purpose of the foundation is “to foster and promote the Holy Bible as the inspired and inerrant word of God through Christian, charitable, and educational activities.”[1] Its doctrinal statement, established early in the foundation's history, is closely aligned with fundamentalism. In common with most Bible translation projects, the foundation organized teams of scholars and pastors for the task. The Amplified translation of the Gospel of John was published first, in 1958, and the full Amplified Bible in 1965 (AMP). The New American Standard translation of the Gospel of John was published in 1963 and the complete Bible in 1971 (NASB). Substantial revisions to the Amplified version were issued in 1987 and 2015 and to the NASB version in 1995 and 2020. Both versions are offered in English and Spanish in various formats through the foundation's online store.[6] In 2021 the Lockman Foundation partnered with 316 Publishing to produce the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) designed to keep aspects of the 1995 version that were being changed in the 2020 version.[7][8]

La fundación buscó que la NASB se tradujera a varios idiomas asiáticos y mantuvo una relación con The Evangelical Alliance Mission durante más de 30 años. Como resultado, se publicó una versión en japonés junto con versiones en hindi, coreano y chino (tanto en mandarín como en caracteres simplificados). La relación finalmente se deterioró y se presentaron demandas en Estados Unidos y Japón por derechos de autor y otros asuntos. En 1991, un tribunal de apelaciones de Estados Unidos dictaminó que los casos debían resolverse en tribunales japoneses. [ 9 ] A partir de 2022, la tienda en línea de la fundación no ofrece materiales en idiomas asiáticos. [ 6 ]
