They are very good, they have a team system with Bible scholars translating from the ORIGINAL Hebrew and Greek texts; they're Lutheran I think, if memory hasn't failed me, but the work is totally nonsectarian Christian. They've even had Jewish translators working on some of the Hebrew-to-ASL translations. I would recommend them unhesitatingly for their accuracy and level of competence. -- Therese Shellabarger - https://www.concentric.net/~tlshell/ Shalom chaverot! | ||||||||||||
