opening my bible to first chronicles i began perusing the listing of the generations of mankind. mostly my eyes glaze over when confronted with these tables but there are narrative fragments in there like nimrod 1.10 archar 2.7 and the infamous jabez 3.910 that hint at broader stories not more explicitly told to us in the bible. one of these is the story of peleg descendant of shem son of noah

we have arrived at the point in the biblioblogosphere where linking to a few representative posts on the issue of bible translation is simply impossible. its a dead horse that for some reason we find the most sadistic pleasure in continuing to beat. the normal perpetrators are john hobbins david ker iyov doug mangum and many others.

a bible for iyov Post Source: heissufficient.com Posted: Sep 09 2008 17:30:42
iyov has written recently about the geneva bible 1 2 3 4 5 so i thought he might take interest in this ebay listing for what purports to be a genuine leather first edition 1560 geneva bible.
certainly with a buy it now price of 19500 usd one might expect it to be authentic though that hardly compares with the bin of 119000 usd that the seller is asking for a first edition 1611 king james...... [Show More]
iyov reproduces an article from the israeli newspaper haaretz which reports that israels education ministry has decided to ban versions of the bible presumably meaning only what we christians call the old testament in modern hebrew. a government official has said the idea of translating the bible into simple contemporary language is scandalous. im not quite sure what the .........

iyov has been following the recent vatican directive reminding episcopal conferences to remove all vocalizations of the tetragrammaton out of respect to jews and jewish tradition. he quotes from a recent letter by bishop serratelli chair of the us bishops committee on divine worship

as seems to be the case more often than not these days iyov and john hobbins are engaged in another vigorous war of words. having moved beyond past disputes about the esv and gender language iyov has now called john on the floor for questioning whether the psalms can be more faithfully translated into english than the kjv and alter translations that iyov favors.

meme madness returns Post Source: heissufficient.net Posted: May 14 2008 10:14:42
david ker notes that the summer blogging slowdown is upon us. i think i got a jump start with my blog apathy of the last month or so but i will endeavor to keep posting. davids tagged me with a weird worship meme which evidently focuses on bizarre worship song lyrics. im working on it maybe i should focus on bizarre horn line arrangements instead.
in the meantime iyov had recently posted a quiz wh... [Show More]
