I hope Zondervan and Paul can reach a settlement out of court. Sure this is a concept taught in scripture but Zondervan might find it all too convenient that many of the verses in question were written by Paul.

This is great! It would be nice to see a radical Christian version of the Onion!

There's already a satirical Christian news site - Lark News. It's not specifically radical, but it's often on target. And it's generally quite humorous.

It's kind of sad but with all that money being made on the Bible it kind of makes you wonder what the motivation is for selling all those Bibles.

"Look, I don’t want to be an ass. I just want what’s mine."
that is the best line in the whole article. You think Paul will let me quote him?

Jonathan - especially when you consider that if you follow the trail of ownership to its highest level, Zondervan is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
In fact quite a large chunk of the Christian publishing industry is done by subsidiary houses of major publishing companies, which are often tied to corporate conglomerates (if not conglomerates themselves).

I'm surprised Zondervan doesn't fire back with "there have been so many recent dispute as to whether or not you really wrote any of these letters, Paul, that it is hard to conceived giving you any share of the profits. All our lawyers/researchers agree with the new scholarship, not the 1,5000 year traditional view."
The "falling out of Paul" is something I've been thinking a lot about. If we just go so hardcore into our "jesus-following" that we forget about Paul's interpretation of Jesus' life,death, and ressurection, and what that means for us--we might as well call Raushenbusch back up and have him direct every move we make. No trinity, no atonement, just Jesus and us, building the Kingdom day by day.
Uh oh.

Michael, here's an interesting twist from Zondervan. Paul's would have no basis in court because his work would essentially have come public domain by now. Copyright laws have limited lifetimes. And Zondervan's NIV Bible is an interpretation of his words, not the words themselves, so the lawyers would easily win. Sorry Paul but you are out of luck.

Brother Jonathan,
You are most certainly correct that copyright laws have limited lifetimes. However, I am hoping to set a new precedent. There is an assumption in copyright law that works enter public domain a certain number of years after somebody dies. But, I am not dead. I am hoping to take this to the supreme court.

You go Paul. I'm right behind you of the Supreme Court will listen. BTW, did you discover some kind of new resurrection or something?
