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.

You fundamentalists need to get out more. I've seen and heard "progressive" protestants and Catholics (the phony pro-choice feminist practitioners) recite the Lord's Prayer beginning with "Our Father-mother, Who art in heaven....." This bible is aimed straight at that market. You better believe that, if it takes off, that God as "mother" thing will be in the next revision. ANd the diversity police will see to it that it gets as wide a distribution and consideration among the military as the Wiccan crap.

I suspect the main market for this book will be public libraries.
