Page 6 Quotations from the Bible I have used the Revised Standard Version of the Bible as the basis of my study (copyrighted 1946, 1952, , 1971, 1973). Where I have supplemented this with other translations, I have indicated this. Scripture references marked NIV are from The Holy Bible: New International Version. Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by the International Bible Society. Used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers. Scripture references marked TEV are from the Good News Bible. Old Testament copyright American Bible Society, 1976; New Testament copyright American Bible Society, 1966, 1971, 1976. Scripture references marked JB are from The Jerusalem Bible, copyright 1966 by Darton, Longman & Todd, Ltd., and Doubleday & Company, Inc. Used by permission of the publisher. Scripture references marked NEB are from The New English Bible. Copyright by the Delegates of the Oxford University Press and the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press, 1961, 1970. Reprinted by permission. I have occasionally made changes in the RSV text. At times this is to avoid sexist language (e.g., "all people" instead of "all men"); and at times it is to render more faithfully the force of the original text. For instance, in one case, I prefer "justice'' over" righteousness" (see chapter 2, note 3). Other alterations include: "Yahweh" for "the Lord"; "Lord of armies" for "Lord of hosts"; "shalom" for "peace"; nations" for "gentiles"; and "holy ones" for "saints." ALAN KREIDER
