The Inclusive Bible: The First Egalitarian Translation

The word of God is indeed that,if we read it in its entirety and that God's plan is greater than ours that we don't change his word by adding or subtracting anything we can know a perfect God who has a perfect plan and that is; men are suitable for certain roles and women are for others we are not to put a woman in charge over men because it's clear is biblical,1 Timothy 2:12 and lots of church office examples, but go ahead cave into culture give people what they want and that's not the true God.

Much of the beauty in the scripture is lost in any translation that ignores the rich history that the Bible was forged in. Revising that history in the name of equality whitewashes and distances God, making Him an impartial force, not an intimate father and friend. Add that revisionist history to revisionist theology; the book begins with nine pages of justification and verbal wrangling to explain what and why the authors edited, going to great pains. This is certainly a recipe for failure. Pass.

Wow. I didn't expect much from the free sample I tried out, and didn't get even that. As just one example, Genesis 2 is laughably badly translated (compare their version with a more accurate literal translation, even better an interlinear one) - going on about some earth creature nonsense (they translate the same word 'adam', in the same passage, as both 'earth creature' and 'man' to fit in with their agenda). Overall: Useful as an example of how not to translate the Bible.
