I reserve judgment. I'm working on the second time through the NIV. A lot of people take issue with it. At Mass, there are certain gender neutral modifications but not to the basic core issues. Some may be okay. The term "man" was a universal reference to all humanity. There are a lot of people who don't read that word that way any more. The key is not what version you read but that you read the Bible. The ones which twist the core meaning get no support from me... but language has to be somewhat fluid.
