After a little thought, I wonder if the change in names is because the name "Holman" is basically synonymous, in the minds of many people, with "Baptist." I don't think that Holman (or B&H (Broadman and Holman)) is the official publisher for any of the conventions (Southern Baptist, in this case), but there sure is a strong connection--official or unofficial--between the two. Perhaps the name change was for ecumenical reasons--to make the translation more appealing to a wider audience--by disassociating itself from a publisher known as a denominational one.
