Rolling Stone magazine has decided to run an ad for a new Bible in its magazine.
The ad is to run next month and will be the same one the magazine rejected as too controversial.
"We have addressed the internal miscommunications that led to the previous misstatement of company policy and apologize for any confusion it may have caused," Lisa Dallos, spokeswoman for Wenner Media, Rolling Stone's parent company, told USA Today.
The magazine first claimed the ad's "spiritual message" might turn off its pot-smoking audience.
The ad never mentions God, but does refer to the Bible as "real truth."
"We're frankly thrilled that Rolling Stone has decided to accept our ad," Paul Caminiti, Zondervan's president of Bible publishing, told USA Today.

It seems (from a cursurary search of comments) that this version is as I suspected : Some gender neutral version. It may be ok for general reading but not a deep study. I'll have to look at it more closely when I get home to form my own opinion.
Touche!!!
Hope you're not a fan. ;O)
Being of an age, I can say that at one time Corey was a popular comedian whose shtick was double-talk. I referenced him simply because I found the quote in the article to be entirely convoluted and intentionally confusing. |

Apparently, it's gender-neutral where the "translators" decided it should be, even if the original text was not. Therefore, I'll pass and mentally file this under "Z" for Zondervan.

Im thrilled.
I may be deluded but I'm going to tell myself that the decision was reversed purely based on pressure from freepers and bloggers harping about it.
YIPEEE !!!
