This man has no real clue about bible translations or relating the truth. No Gossip? Hardly. The bible, for the first time, open to the public for translation? Hardly. The ‘public’ has been translating the bible for a very, very long time. And economic parables? Really?

Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

“Public”?
Wycliffe and the Lollards about 1400 AD (in early English, no less) must have slipped his mind, to name an obvious one.
He wants to do God’s work, let him translate the Bible in one of the several thousand languages around the world that have none. Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox and every denomination in between will stand up and cheer.
That’s my thought, Chuck. On E-sword, I have a whole host of individual translations made by obscure people. Andy is clearly agenda driven.

Now, I’ll give you that!
