Bible Note: Dear RakPak, All translation is interpretative, RakPak. Somewhat more so than textual criticism. Regardless, if I read you correctly, you are willing to assume that responsibility yourself. I have professors who were involved in the ESV translation. There is a good deal of cerebration, debate, study, discussion, and research that go into a good translation. The people involved in the ESV were scholars of a much broader set of backgrounds than the "assembly" you describe. I am loathe to blithely override their decisions while lacking the intellectual equipment to do so. In Him, Doc |
