Byhenry February 24, 2018
Dave Black comments some on linguistics and teaching biblical languages in a post today. (Check out the linguistics conference coming up!)

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.
