An Inclusive Litany
2/12/02
In "Today's New International Version" of the New Testament,
sponsored by the International Bible Society,
translators have attempted to remove gender-specific language as much
as possible. Thus, a line from the Gospel of Mark in the unrevised
New International Version reads: " 'Come, follow me,' Jesus
said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.' " The revised
translation reads: " 'Come, follow me,' Jesus said, 'and I will
send you out to catch people.' "
