Why get so upset and defensive?

This translation is complied by accomplished scholars, and serves a needed purpose. If you don't like it, don't read it! I enjoy this translation, and find it helpful in my devotional life. The great thing is that we CAN read what we want to read, and we CAN ask the questions we want to ask, and we CAN question established authority, even religious authority. I firmly believe that God can handle it, and it is our right as Americans. This is is a point the other reviewers seem to miss.

Well executed inclusive version for use in worship

This is an excellent resource for inclusive worship. While other translations / editions may be better for use in study, Oxford's The New Testament and Psalms - An Inclusive Version is invaluable to provide text for lectors in worship services where inclusivity is at issue. This Bible avoids exclusion of women and minorities, and clarifies concepts in terms which do not have the usual cultural impediments of western-centered language. Through all these efforts, the translators have done a competent job of holding fast to the original message.Every church which tries to do readings in a contemporary, inclusive spirit should have a copy of this Bible.
