>For me the text is paramount, theology be damned.<
This ideal is unrealizable when we have to choose the plausible meanings out
of several grammatically possible.
I have run into Jews who are just as tied to theological assumptions thatrestrict their translations as the most unthinking Christian<
I was talking of a different thing. Jews assume an axiom A (TNK). Christians
assume axiom A (TNK) + axiom B (NT). Therefore, Christian approach requires
more assumptions, and is weaker; that doesn't mean that Jewish
interpretation is perfect.
