Bible Note: Steve, in direct response to your questions, "Kalos, do you mean that MacArthur Study Bible is not the view from MacArthur only? Who else wrote it?" I availed myself of the Personal Notes which John MacArthur wrote as a preface to his study Bible (pages xi and xii) in which he lists by name no fewer than 43 persons, a great number of whom were themselves seasoned Bible scholars, who collaborated with him in his work and painstaking research in putting together the MacArthur Study Bible. He further mentions that there were, in addition to the persons cited by name, other teams and other groups who contributed materially to this project. This was an ongoing work of careful scholarship that extended over a 28-year period. You have more than once stated that this work is the opinion of one man and you have been quite wrong, as indeed you have been in a number of other statements you have made on a variety of other subjects on which you rendered an opinion apparently without bothering to check the facts. This is not intended to be an effort to be rude to you Steve; it is rather a plea to you, and to all of us on this forum, to be more careful to be as accurate as we possibly can be in what we say, being ever mindful that we are dealing with serious material, the study of God's word, and ever mindful of the potential for leading some dear soul astray by our own errant and error-ridden postings. Blessings to you, my brother in Christ. --Hank |
