Byhenry June 30, 2008

Richard Rhodes doesn’t think it’s all that foreign. Read about it at Better Bibles. I give this one 5 stars out of 5.

Complementarian Translation?
Byhenry July 26, 2006
Peter Kirk has writtten that he finds a complementarian bias in the TNIV. He says: A major aim of the changes made in Today’s New International Version (TNIV) was to avoid the danger of such misunderstandings.

Some Basic Linguistics
Byhenry February 25, 2011
One of the great problems I find in teaching biblical languages, or in explaining Bible translation to lay audiences, is that people don’t understand meaning very well.
