Bless her heart.  She'll be pooped when the season ends.

Speaking of reading the Bible according to the four senses, have you
read "Reading the Scriptures with the Church Fathers" by Christopher
Hall?  Interesting book.  He's an editor of the Ancient Christian
Commentary series.

Yeah, my wife wants one of those as well, now that she is working as a
staff accounting and doing graduate work in accounting.

From what I can tell, the NIV and NRSV are pretty much cornering the
market. Frankly speaking, I'd prefer people to use the NRSV (which while
it's PC, it is only meaningfully so in a few places) to the NIV (which
seems to resort to outright paraphrasing in some places.

I wonder if we will see as many translations done in our new era as
there were in the "we can get to the true text" modernist era?  My own
suspicion is that we won't.

On a happier note, I can see a lot of postmodernists getting into the
old way of reading Scripture according to the 4 senses.
