Who’s endorsing the ESV?

But of course there is a serious point here. We rely on celebrity endorsements for our Bible purchases. Whether that is the pastor or a conference speaker or a denominational leader, we depend on others to decide which Bible is best.

So, is this joke funny?

  2. They should put 1 Tim 2:12 in that picture right below her.

    "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet."

    From the ESV of course. It could be like a "motivational" poster.

  3. Who is endorsing the ESV? I don't have a clue who this person is, so I'm no doubt missing the joke.

  4. You're a lucky in your ignorance. That's Oprah Winfrey, a famous talk-show host.

  5. The opposite problem, where I live is: If the pastor or conference speaker endorses nothing, the people will read nothing.
