I know about these people and I have seen one of their first videos, it was
signed by Lou Fant, a name familiar to some of you here. They are very
good, they have a team system with Bible scholars translating from the
ORIGINAL Hebrew and Greek texts; they're Lutheran I think, if memory hasn't
failed me, but the work is totally nonsectarian Christian. They've even had
Jewish translators working on some of the Hebrew-to-ASL translations. I
would recommend them unhesitatingly for their accuracy and level of
competence.
