I have personally compared a large number of his Scripture citations in The Purpose Driven Life with reliable translations as well as with the original. In far too many instances, there is no resemblance between his citation of a paraphrase and the original. That, in my estimation, and in the estimation of a number of Bible teachers, is not rightly dividing the Word. It has been documented in a number of places.

That's more complex than I care to get into tonight.

I'm typically very underwhelmed by such hair splitting.

All the better paraphrases contribute something to the understanding of God's Word, imho.
