This is amazing. I sent a note to the CEB folks about the dislike over the use of “it” referring to the Spirit in Romans 8:26. (It was our reading for Sunday morning.)
I got an initial response quickly (maybe 30 minutes) telling me the history of the translation decision on that verse. Also, they noted I was the second person to contact them. (ONLY TWO??)
Then, not thirty minutes later, a new note letting me know this:
We are going to change to the male pronoun on the next printing and editions in Romans 8:26 and 8:27. We are going to a third printing anyway today. We ran out of inventory until Aug 9, though some binding are just arriving.
Thanks for the nudge.
Paul
