Yesterday Jeremy Pierce of the Parableman blog reviewed the book Choosing a Bible: Understanding Bible Translation Differences. Jeremy's review is fair, balanced, and temperate in tone. I recommend it for your reading. Jeremy points out that Ryken diminishes the value of his book by making a number of over-generalized claims about dynamic equivalent Bible versions. Of course, that danger can be made by any of us, whenever we over-generalize about anything.
Ryken's book and reviews of it, including Jeremy's is part of the important on-going discussion about what constitutes better Bibles.
