"This modern English translation by a Lutheran scholar is an excellent production. Faithful to the Scriptures, modern in language and style, free from vulgarity, it is a work of able scholarship and reverent faith. It may well prove to be of lasting importance."

I was more amused by his insistence on translating certain verses in a way that backed Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod theology. Despite that, it is a clear, vigorous translation. Though fundamentalist, he does point out difficulties in translation and ends Mark early, as in the earliest copies. ( )
