I am in the process of reading James Montgomery Boice's Foundations of the Christian Faith. It is very well written and I am enjoying. I am also learning a lot from it.
There is one problem and it is an irritating annoyance...the editors were not content for Dr. Boice to use the term "man." In the attempt to be politically correct, every time Dr. Boice wrote men, the editors changed it to men and women or women and men, alternating the terms. This was especially laughable in two cases where the discussion was centered around men (the apostles). The editors would not allow men to be used, but insisted on changing the wording to men and women.
Am I off base here in allowing the editing to detract from an otherwise good reading?
For those of you who are familiar with this work, what is your overall evaluation?
Thanks,
James
