Lost In Translation
(Fox News) - Christian publishing company Zondervan is facing a $60 million lawsuit filed by a man who claims he and other homosexuals have suffered because of Zondervan's misinterpretation of the Bible. Zondervan is a subsidiary of this network's parent company Newscorp.
The lawsuit by Bradley Fowler centers on the text in first Corinthians chapter six, verse nine, which uses the word "homosexuals" among a list of those who are "wicked." While the new American standard uses the word "homosexuals," other versions do not. The regular American standard uses the phrase "abusers of themselves with men."
But a spokeswoman for Zondervan says Fowler is suing the wrong group because the publishing company is not in the business of translation.
She says the company relies on "scholarly judgment of credible translation committees."
