"When will the ESV grow up? I am perplexed with this unending series of revisions!"

[Rob H] Or, teach a class on what they’re doing with the ESV so the people can at least have an idea of what’s going on. It’s still the Bible, right? Or is it a failed translation that needs to be disposed of and replaced by something else?

It is still the Bible, but if the ESV wants to become the predominant, standard English text of the Bible for the evangelical world — something it seems to be at least on the verge of becoming — this seems like a really silly way of doing business.
