Sure. Of course, to be PC, this "Bible" would have to have all gender-specific references removed, all condemnations of homosexuality excised, and a few additions to the words of Christ (to encourage cooperation with taxing authorities, for example).

Don't the Scriptures warn of men rewriting the Word of God in the end times?

One of the motivations of the translation committee of the ESV is the tendency of modern tranlations toward gender neutrality. The NIV had the potentional to be the next "universal" English translation until Zondervan decided to revise the NIV and eliminate as many gender specific references as possible.

I like the ESV because it follows in the tradition of The KJV-RSV-ESV. It is the modern translation that is most closly related to the KJV lineage other the NKJV which is for the most part the KJV with the Thees and Thous removed. When our church has a permanent facility the ESV will be our pew bible.

I don't think you read the article, in which the professor points to one specific, existing translation: the ESV. The ESV is none of the things you rightly abhor.

I have very mixed feelings about it (having studied Hebrew and Greek for nigh-on thirty years), but it is conservative.
