Kevin, I know of no such plans--and I doubt if there will be. Ite would be
very expensive, the market would be small, and most people who work in the
NT have to have at least minimal German.
Add to that that Samuel Sandmel's article titled "parallelomania" in JBL
back in the sixties has brought the collection into some disrepute.
So, if need be, encourage people to learn German.
