Stirling, a strong herd is right. It may change Mounce but he will have some influence on the 2011NIV too.

The question is, will his presence on the Committee change the committee or will it change him? I suspect the latter. There is strong herd mentality in academia. Read Hemingway\’s Death in the Afternoon.

Sue, I am concerned about verses like James 3:1. But I hope Mounce might be persuaded by the counter argument that if “sisters” is deleted here readers might take it that it’s OK for sisters to presume to be teachers. Actually I have concerns about how TNIV added “presume” here, making the verse very like 1 Timothy 2:12.

Mounce writes,

“We will continue to have debates on verses like James 3:1 — “Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers and sisters [Greek, adelphoi], because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly” (TNIV), a translation that removes from debate the question of women teaching.”

He clearly does not want a Bible that suggests that women can be teachers. For Mounce, as for many others, women must be restricted and treated as a special sub class of human beings.

I am with tim. I hesitate to be too optimistic. But I suppose he is a better choice than some others.
