Thanks for the ping.

I reviewed the New Revised Standard Version, which led the way into the morass of "gender free" rewriting, HERE. The same criticisms would apply. But then, I am not a great fan of the NIV either, as my remarks HERE explain.

But what really gripes about this translation is that it is a treacherous breach of commitment.

Imagine that. A stealth Bible, released with the secrecy of a really bad movie, in direct violation of promises the sponsors had made NOT to perpetrate such a thing. In our spiritually brain-dead, Athenian culture, I don't doubt it will sell.

But it will smell, too.

You have such a way with words, Dan! Even when I disagree with you (which I don't, here) I love the way you put things.

World Magazine reported the reasons LifeWay wasn't selling it. The second reason was that nobody was asking for it, which is a good indication of why Zondervan is advertising in Rolling Stone.
