The NET Bible off and running
By Hall Harris - Posted on January 8th, 2008
After returning from Philadelphia it was not long until a formal proposal was ready for the new translation (which at this time had the working title The Internet Study Bible – the name NET Bible came along a number of months later), with the NT books of 1, 2, 3 John (with the full set of notes) done on my Mac PowerBook 165c as a proof of concept. This proposal was accepted by the sponsor in January 1996 and we were off and running.
For thirty years W. Hall Harris III has taught on the faculty of Dallas Theological Seminary in the New Testament Studies Department. Since 1995 he has served as Project Director and Managing Editor for the NET Bible at bible.org passionately steering this revolutionary Bible from inception to global impact. Dr. Harris has traveled extensively in Western Europe, especially in Germany and Italy. And as an ordained minister he has served over the years as pastor of single adults, elder, and adult Sunday school teacher.
