Releasing TEB Samples…

Several have written to ask me if I had for some reason ceased putting out the Translation Samples. The answer is yes and no. There has been a bit of a pause, but no longer term halt. Most all my work on the translation has to be done in the bits and pieces of my time that I can manage to snatch from a very busy schedule as Chair of the Dept. of Religious Studies at UNC Charlotte (with over 20 faculty, B.A. & M.A. program, etc.), and all my other academic endeavors, which are considerable. This translation remains my “first love” and my long term commitment is to see it through to the end.

Right now I am in the process of evaluating the literally hundreds of comments we have gotten from readers on what we have released so far. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, but with lots of really helpful and constructive statement. Sharp eyed readers have not only spotted typos, errors, and glitches, but noticed inconsistencies and outright mistakes. We have also received lots of more substantive suggestions, as to why we don’t do this or that, or why we chose what we did over other possible choices. All of this we are evaluating. This release, that we began last Fall, is the first time that the Translation has been made available beyond a few hundred of our faithful supporters over the years. It takes us to a new stage and we are really grateful for all the input.

That said, please be patient and there is much more to come. My immediate task is to release Genesis as a single document again, but in a 1.1 version, with all the corrections and suggestions incorporated. That will get us close I think to the model that we are looking for with the other books.
