Bible Note: At least what the ESV people say of their Bible in regard to the gender issue makes a good deal of sense! I read an article yesterday that said that the "gender-inclusive" NRSV would have gone a considerable distance farther in its gender language had it not been for the sobering influence of conservative Bruce Metzger who chaired the translation committee. The article pointed out that there were some mutton heads on the committee who wanted to call God the Parent (instead of Father) and Christ the Child (instead of Son). When these not-too-smart eggheads show the slightest inclination to monkey around with God's word, to coddle to the whelms of the wild-eyed liberal lobbyists, it is high time to issue them their pink slips and show them the door. God's word is too important, too sacred, too pure, too precious to be handled by namby-pamby people whose primary concern is apparently political correctness in order to escape the wrath of their profit-driven bosses. They should be more concerned about the wrath of God, it seems to me. --Hank |
