I just couldn't believe it when I saw it. How could the TNIV do this? Could any honest person with a knowledge of Greek actually justify this unwarranted tampering with the text?
OK, OK, I'm being a little silly here. But I really wish that the TNIV would simply put brackets around contested passages like the ending of Mark, and the story of the woman caught in adultery. Now, they've put the entire passages into italics, and this is NOT good news for this lil lady's eyes.
Away with the italics!

Thank God for Priscilla!
"We're shocked, really."
The TNIV committee last week issued a statement, defending their inclusion of the story of Priscilla, found in Acts 18:25-27, in which Priscilla and her husband took aside a young preacher, Apolles, and instructed him further about the gospel.
"It's not a passage contested by anyone," one translator complained "It seems to be part of a larger attack concentrated on the TNIV. This is irrational."
However, Wayne Grudem, in his recent article on the subject, stated that "It's a clear example of feminism biasing the work of the translators. The Bible clearly says that a woman isn't supposed to teach a man. Therefore, without any manuscript evidence, I'm declaring this passage a spurious inclusion by early feminists attempting to enlarge the God given role of women---to support, affirm, and encourage the leadership of men. I'm sure that the evidence will turn up someday. Meanwhile, the TNIV is lending support to a radical feminine agenda by giving credence to this---this screed!"

Note: Although it has been rumored that future editions of the ESV will omit this passage, it has not yet been confirmed by Crossway or Wayne Grudem, whose fans are now advancing upon a certain blog writer
