Greetings, all.
So, the Christian Standard Bible has been pushing a lot of corrections to their translation—all excellent edits to an already excellent translation (e.g., the corrected incomplete sentence in Isa. 64:3). The committee has been very receptive to the public eye. I was even in email correspondence with Dorian Coover-Cox for a bit, in which she graciously asked me to send her any renderings that looked odd or were clearly a typo. Most, maybe all, of these have been fixed in the electronic edition such as Logos and Accordance.
However, there is one rendering that the committee has seemingly yet to be address, and it is found in Eph. 2:18. The HCSB has "Spirit" (capitalized), while the CSB has "spirit" (lowercase). I thought that maybe this could be a deliberate change. However, no other major translation of which I am aware has this rendering. Surely such a unique rendering would require a footnote, yet it has not even been addressed.
I guess what I am asking is this: Is anyone aware of any commentators that take πνεύματι in Eph. 2:18 to be anything but the Holy Spirit? Perhaps our good brother Dr. @iainduguid could help us, even though he is on the Old Testament side of the committee.
Thank you all!
