Women scholars retranslate the Bible
|
Melbourne, Australia (Mercator): In an era when Christian belief is on the wane and even clergy can seem vague about who their Boss is, ordinary mortals might wonder how theologians are spending their time.

Bibel in gerechter Sprache (The Bible in a More Just Language) is the work, mainly, of women scholars who continue the now decades-long trend of making the Scriptures more pleasing to the ears of feminists, Jews and "marginalised groups" such as homosexuals.
