[Magdalen] Interesting review, new New Testament translation

[John Robison]

My copy came last week.
Just a simple go through is interesting.
There are some extensive footnotes where words or phrases are unclear, or
are obscure.
So far, I like it quite a bit.
As for the Bible being "A Book," I run into that opinion among the
terminally hostily Secular and among the equally hostile  Fundamentalists
types.

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic
uninterestingness as an intellectual position." - John Updike

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life:
The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that
often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading
to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."  ~John Rogers
