The Passion Translation

Has anyone used this translation?

I haven't used it myself, but have read a little bit of it - and it seems over the top (best phrase I have as an impression). It reads like someone is just trying to inject feeling into the text, but my bigger concern is that the translator is just one man who has very little translation experience - and, indeed, has misrepresented himself as being qualified to even come up with a translation.

Mike Winger did a good video on it a year or two ago :

And a followup that he did in getting a response from Simmons' former associates :

And a blog that breaks down just some of the concerns :

There are others, I'm sure, but in that blog there is a link to an article written by one of the members of the NIV Translation Committee (Andrew Shead) that is probably worth reviewing as well.

EDIT : Mike Winger recently did an interview that has a really good summary of his concerns here :

Probably the most immediately critical thing is that Mike shows that Brian is basically flat out lying about his training and experience. That calls into question all of his other claims about revelation, dreams etc...
