Subject: What do you think of new Holman Bible? |
Bible Note: Good point! Your being a Southern Baptist affirms that we, you and I, are birds of a feather. In all candor, I'm hard pressed to come up with cogent reasons for yet another translation. Have Bible publishers joined ranks with soap and cereal producers, ever searching for a new brand with which to saturate an already glutted market? It seems so. In reference to your proposal to use this tidy sum for missionary or other endeavors instead of another translation of the Bible, I would posit that in the publication of this new Bible they hope to recoup a part, if not all, of their cash outlay. Such would not be their fortune, of course, in missionary enterprises. |
