These people are driving me INSANE! For me it is a theological issue – not the translation issues (I agree with your approach) but their inability to allow a translation that they might disagree with shows a lack of theological maturity! Surely the TNV and ESV can co-exist? It seems not! This whole episode has merely served to reveal the underbelly of right wing fundamentalism in the USA! I don’t understand why we can’t agree to disagree? I don’t mind them disagreeing but I so have a problem with them opposing the TNIV. It is telling that no one ever shot a bullet through an ESV and sent it to Crossway!
(Sorry for the rant)
there’s a lot more going on. the issues are complex. and reasonable dialogue needs to happen.
I understand that Mike but this is the one comment that reflects my frustration:
“I’m holding out hope that the Committee on Bible Translation will not do in the NIV 2011 what they did in the TNIV. If they do, I would oppose it, and so would many others”
This attitude is disappointing, and I would argue, theologically immature.
I’d be happy if there was reasonable dialogue going on, but the truth is, these people oppose the TNIV on value grounds not linguistic ones.
Just my thoughts.
Good for you actually getting him to respond to you. I hope he keeps on interacting with the points you’re making (although I’m not hopeful he will).

Thanks so much for the reference to Baranowski’s article. That looks like a very interesting resource.
you’re welcome! if you want, I could e-mail you a pdf – or if you’re have access to Ebscohost, you can get it yourself.
Thanks, Mike. It looks like I can get the article through FirstSearch, but I’ll definitely send you a message it that doesn’t work out.
I went through the comment list and this one was much more mature. There was a lot of excellent points made. Would you also email me that PDF? I don’t have access to Ebscohost. Thanks.
