'(Mis)guided feminists' or (Mis)Translation
I was prompted to start this blog today after reading a post on the Biblical Greek email list. The post spoke of "Misguided feminists", and while dismissing correct gender translation as simply a tool of those striving for "political correctness", got the bare historical facts wrong. I used to teach ancient Greek language at university, and then when I translated the New Testament from the Greek, I attracted all sorts of charges of feminist agenda simply for translating correctly. So many women are kept out of the ministry on the grounds of "what the Bible says" but the Bible in Greek actually doesn't say anything against women in the ministry. (Mis)translation is a different matter.
