One of the great dangers that persists in societies everywhere throughout history is mistaking the gathering of information for thinking.

I am sometimes asked about which Bible a person should be reading. I will usually give a list with the strengths and weaknesses of each recommendation. For readers of English Bibles, the most important part of the book is the explanation of the rules used by the translators.

How one thinks directly affects how one will translate one language to another as well as the explanations given.
