quote:

In the March 16, 2006 issue of Adventist Review, Executive Publisher/Editor William G. Johnsson wrote an article appearing on page 5 enttiled "So Many Versions" in which he discusses "Which is the best Bible Translation?" Point 3 of his answer states:


quote:

"The most popular paraphrases are The Message, The Clear Word, and The Living Bible. They succeed in making the Bible come alive to modern men and women....
The Clear Word is an 'Adventist' paraphrase, incorporating insights from Ellen White."




Here they're admitting that Ellen White's "insights" are added to the Word of God to support Adventist doctrine.

When you read the whole article the author is very clear in stating that parpaphrases are not used for accuracy and not for teaching doctrine. They are more for ease of reading. Yes, we would expect The Clear Word to have White's influence. At least they did take the word "Bible" out of the title.

While I do not agree with the Clear Word, this article dose seem to be properly disclaimed.
