Query: A scholarly review of the book

I have read the many glowing comments from this site, but I see none given by biblical scholars (linguistics, philology, hermeneutics, etc.) or those trained beyond self-education of Scripture. Perhaps to balance the subjective reviews given here, another subjective but scholarly review is warranted to put BeDuhn's own bias in perspective? A google search should bring you to this nearly 100 page review of the book. There has been no conspiracy to manipulate the word of God or theology since the first century; there has only been a search for truth. BeDuhn is not immune to bias or his own hidden but evident theological beliefs that peek through the text. Given the above, let's see what a scholar of at least equal competence has to say about BeDuhn's claims.THE TRUTH ABOUTTRUTH IN TRANSLATIONA Review and Analysis byThomas A. Howe, Ph.D.
