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.

[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 New American Standard translation of the Gospel of John was published in 1963 and the complete Bible in 1971 (NASB).

[7] [8] The foundation sought to have the NASB translated further into several Asian languages and maintained a relationship with an evangelical alliance mission for over 30 years.
