Bible Note: Thanks Hank, overall you make a good point, the problem is that everyone is going to put their spin on this Topic. I "assume" IBS will also have their 26 (or 126 scholars) signing off etc...not a risky assumtion. It's too early to get objective opinions, particularly on the merits of the entirity of the TNIV project... not just then hand picked verses from both sides. Time gives perspective, which I think you might have mentioned earlier. Re: BIG dollars Of course, Zondervan is for profit. I "assumed" that when I forked over 60 dollars for a Bible. I never mentioned Zondervan, they're the delivery boy, not the decision maker (or translator). IBS is non profit...here's a cut/paste: "The International Bible Society was founded in 1809 as a non-profit ministry to serve the Church in evangelism and discipleship by taking the Scriptures around the world, with a focus on larger people groups. This includes the "Let There Be Light" program to launch 35 new translations of the Bible in the next six years, equivalent to the addition of one-tenth of all of the languages into which the entire Bible has been translated since time of Christ." ---------------------------------------- I'll go back to my original statement: "I assume IBS is non-profit and has the Best interest of the Bible (and ALL of its users) as their primary goal." I'm not saying IBS made the right decision... I don't know that yet. What I am saying is that,overall, their heart is in the right place. Because, frankly, it is such a BAD "business" decision!!! Reverse logic? |
