This is why I like it.

Greg, you know I am not a Calvinist but can you point me to a group of "conservative" Protestant scholars who would be qualified to do this kind of translation right now who are NOT Calvinists? I have a feeling that if non-Calvinists were doing a new translation you'd find out that they were gay-friendly or Obama-supporters or social-justice-obsessed or some other thing you would find equally distasteful.

Calvinists pretty much hold the line on conservative intellectual Christianity right now for better or worse.

Robert Picirilli, Vic Reasoner, Jack Cottrell, Michael Brown........shall I keep on? ..........looks like you want to argue, instead of discuss the ESV and its merits, or lack thereof, and/or why calvinists are falling all over themselves to get one. (if you thought I was baiting folks, I'm not)

Your last sentence is simply not true, I would agree that "many" calvinists do, but they certainly are not by themselves, in fact far from it!

just sayin...........
