Bible Note: Wak, the publishers of TNIV have sunk a couple of million dollars into this project. It strikes me as enormously odd that they knowingly made an "unpopular" decision. This is a commercial publisher, a profit-making enterprise, which answers to stockholders. Those stockholders are in it to make money, not necessarily because of their religious convictions. It's naive to assume that a commerical publishing firm is motivated by much of anything except the bottom line. And bottom line is spelled d-o-l-l-a-r-s. --Hank |
