But it reads like a, oh, a Japanese VHS manual. Lifeless prose,
specific and clear to be sure, but flat and lifeless. The Son of Man
comes off as, well, uninteresting. Read "Paradise Lost"; the KJV is
engrained in the text. Let's do a comparison, a collation if you will:The last clause of Ephesians 6, 12:
KJV: "against spiritual wickedness in high places."
NIV: "against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm."
Which seems to you the most, uh, poetic? The most bang for your buck?
The most passionate? The most steeped in implication, even steeped
in meaning? Regards,J.R.
