I have a small ESV, and the archaic language doesn't bother me in the least - but the gender inclusivity question which you so well overviewed, is a stumbling block for many.<BR/>All the best,<BR/>ChrisChris Tillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153087287030167791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-1134627528480579112005-12-14T22:18:00.000-08:002005-12-14T22:18:00.000-08:00hmm. interesting. i really enjoy Mr. Witherington...hmm. interesting. i really enjoy Mr. Witheringtons writing. I also delight in the "nonstandard" english in the ESV. It is... poetic? I use the TNIV or the Message when I speak to groups. I did this hesetantly at first, but realized that I was rendering the test to suit gender equality and current language usage already. so i just went all the way.<BR/><BR/>at anyrate i don't know why i felt the need to say all this. so i will go now.Mike Murrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953216797987615864noreply@blogger.com
