I think psychologically it gives us an insight that Wallace sees the himself as doing an updated ASV.CD-Hosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304535091189153224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-4921432102683011932011-07-26T09:37:28.545-07:002011-07-26T09:37:28.545-07:00I don't like it when someone with a reputation...I don't like it when someone with a reputation as a scholar offers this kind of conjecture as if it meant something.

However, I'm equally confused by the idea that the ESV, which seems to often pointlessly retain non-English syntax, got such nice scores for elegance and readability.<br /><br />I have noticed some unusual enthusiasm for the ESV (not that I dislike it - it's the translation I use most) which may also be at work here. If there's a general anti-NRSV sentiment combined with a pro-ESV sentiment then you might get something odd like this.Erichttp://thejawboneofanass.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
