Bible Note: This doesn't surprise me, Ray. The New Yorker has always been quirky about punctuation. James Thurber, who was at one time a major contributor to the magazine, had heated arguments with Ross on the subject. Punctuation should not be treated lightly, I believe, because it can have a profound effect on meaning. Nowhere is this more crucial than in Scripture. Was, for example, John the Baptist the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Repent..." or was he the voice of one crying, "In the wilderness, repent..."? --Hank |
