@fatherthomasbjj Here's a video I did on the same basic project!

@brannonmc YAY!!!!! I was genuinely upset that he was ceasing his NYT column. I need Douthat.

A genuinely good deal on an app I love:

@ryankgill Don't have the time to check at this precise moment, and I don't check Twitter often. Have you looked at the NET Bible notes? That would be my first recourse.

@DZRishmawy I've seen so few people praise this writer and this book. I'm a huge fan. It was Tim Keller who got me onto him, and I've read most of his books now. Keller recommended The Disenchantment of Secular Discourse, and it was fantastic.

@DouthatNYT Say it ain’t so, Ross! I dearly loved this podcast!

@AJMacDonaldJr @JoshuaBarzon Nice! And I like that design!

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@ryankgill I'd love my thoughts, too… ;) I love Rod Decker and expect to agree with him 99.5%. I made his old website many years ago. It will take me a bit to get to this, but I tend to see the Psalm 8 and Hebrews 2 thing as one of the tradeoffs of translation.

@stutefc My gut says this is a false friend, that language change is playing a role in our ability to accurately divine what the KJV translators meant.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@DavidFish7 I don't appear to be able to do so…

@MikeWingerii I'll add that Brandon Peterson, the guy behind the most recent wave of KJV-Only numerology, is a genuinely nice guy and, I think, a true Christian. But our discussions faltered when I tried to get him to use the Greek as the standard. To him, the standard is the KJV. God made it.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@MikeWingerii I have engaged in good faith with the claims of the mainstream KJV-Only movement, but the numerology stuff is beyond my pale (and theirs). I chose to use satire, as I rarely do, to openly mock it. It is literally ridiculous. https://t.co/Cqy4nZCGrc

@pjgurry @itsee_bham This was a monstrous amount of work. Peter is a machine! I'm honored to count him a friend.

@mitchellchase Thank you for the kind word, Mitch. I've still got a half-written (positive!) review of your book, The Way of the Wise. You made one really excellent point that I've been thinking about since I read it.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@JoshuaTrolly I think the Flesch-Kincaid analysis probably *would* be helpful in this circumstance. As long as you recognize that it's a very rough and ready measure. But, honestly, I'd set AI on this task.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@JoshuaTrolly Tell me more about your goals, and about the texts you're evaluating.
