Good to here about Bauscher's Plain English translation of the Tanach, I to am hoping forward to getting a copy one day, to study along side Lamsa's.
And as far as for Roth making a version of the Tanach anytime soon, the more the marrier I say. And personally I would not have a problem with Roth editing the Lamsa translation to make it from as I am one of those that like Roth's Hebraic touch, and who knows, perhaps the Lamsa copyright holders might agree. Otherwise, I would not hold my breath being he would have to do a far better job at editing in order to disguise Lamsa's translation as being the base text so it would not look anything familiar to it (as in the case with his ReNewed Covenant version) being it's still under copyright, unlike the two texts he used for the base of his ReNewed Covenant, in which he whopped out in a matter of months as opposed to the years it normally takes real translaters.
