Updated edition with new chapters on the TNIV.

A battle has commenced. On one side - a large Christian publishing house and one of the largest Bible Societies in the world. On the other - a large Christian pressure group and an influential Christian weekly news magazine.

Respected theologians are to be found on both sides of the debate. A fog hangs heavily on the battlefield. So how do we make sense of the debate? Is there a serious threat to the accuracy of God's word, the Bible or is it all a storm in a teacup?

We trust that in reading 'The Gender-Neutral Bible Controversy' you will understand the viewpoints with new clarity and be able to see past the emotions to the real issues involved.

Review:

"Careful, accurate, fair...hits the nail on the head."

(R. C. Sproul)

A well-reasoned and level-headed argument for their case. Indeed they are a voice of reason in a dispute that is fraught with emotion and misinformation.

(Valerie Becker Makkai)

In an earnest plea for reduction of ideological interests, the authors probe the need for setting higher standards of accuracy in translation of gender-related terms.

(Frederick W. Danker)

"There is simply no other book on this issue so thorough and so careful."

(John Piper)

"This is the best book on its theme."

(J. I. Packer)

The controversy over 'gender-neutral' Bible translations is not just a tempest in the evangelical teapot - it is nothing less than a challenge to the authority and integrity of God's Word.

(R. Albert Mohler)
