Greg F:
How do you consider the language of the Bible (you don't state which version) is misogynistic?
Is it because it uses the terms "man" & "mankind" as they have been used for centuries to be inclusive of both genders?
Do you not understand that it is a product of the times when it was written?
I find modern versions drab & lacking in poetry, partially because of the attempt to use "inclusive" language.

If we ever totally lose the beauty of the King James Bible, and of the 1662 book of common prayer, I, for one, will mourn their passing.
