Dear John, Annette and all -I was very careful not to recommend the Hebraic Roots Bible - not because I thought there might be something wrong with it - but simply because I had not read it.I understand and agree with Annette's concerns: that this "back to Hebraic roots" movement within the church may be just a modern version of the Judaism that Paul preached so stridently against. I consider myself among those at the head of the line in insisting that we are saved by grace through faith and that we are to live by grace through faith; that we don't somehow become "better Christians" or more pleasing to God by supplementing grace with the works of the law. Sadly, some within this "movement" have contempt for those of us who do not embrace the Torah or understand it as they do. I discussed this on my program yesterday and won't repeat the discussion here.HOWEVER: it often greatly enriches our understanding of the scriptures if we understand the Hebrew culture, and a translation that avoids some (or hopefully all) of the theological prejudices of the King James (and other) translators is obviously desirable. One that picks up Jewish idioms and correctly renders them is also, obviously, quite useful. I believe this translation purports to do just that.Without endorsement, I simply made those who may be interested aware of this new work. That was my intention.ON ANOTHER NOTE: I received an email from Troy over at Creation Calendar. According to their lunar reckoning, Pentecost this year should properly be celebrated on 28 Tammuz, which is the 18th day of July on the Gregorian calendar.We have this discussion every year. So I'm not here to kick anyone's theological beehive. Just thought you might like to know. I still believe Pentecost awaits its Final Fulfillment. As things continue to stack up in the middle east, this could be the year.Very best,Steve
