Nida, along with Kenneth Pike, were the primary teachers for what would become Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) until 1953 (at which point Nida no longer taught as SIL in his previous capacity; I assume that Pike continued).<br /><br />2-Nida was one of 4 members of the SIL "constitutional committee" that was made official in the fall of 1936 (see Uncle Cam by Hefley, p. 96)<br /><br />3-Nida was one of 4 founding members of the Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT) and one of its first officers (see Uncle Cam by Hefley, p. 118)<br /><br />4-Nida joined the American Bible Society in 1943, and was thus part of both SIL and ABS for 11 years.<br /><br />5-Nida was a key figure in the development of the periodical, Practical Anthropology (Philip Stine claims that Nida started it, though others attribute it to Robert Taylor).<br /><br />6-Nida was a key figure in the creation of the United Bible Societies as well as their periodical, The Bible Translator (Stine, Let the Words Be Written, pp. 4, 94)Adam Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558087531856318132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931921496989071942.post-41485264062990957752012-05-03T15:41:45.944-05:002012-05-03T15:41:45.944-05:00Is much changing?

I am intrigued by how he sees things such as this:<br /><br />"Thus female activity is used to describe the work of God. In Luke 15:8-10 Jesus likens himself to a woman. The possible dependence of Luke 15 on Psalm 23.... [T]here is only one author who balances together two metaphors/stories, one male and the other female. This is the author of Isaiah 40-55." (<i>Finding the Lost Cultural Keys to Luke 15</i>, page 94)<br /><br />Too often male authors, story-tellers who are men, get caught up in the binary, what Nancy Mairs calls "the fundamental structure of the patriarchy." Such men narrate the way that Aristotle told was best. To posit, on the other hand, women as authors of Biblical Text -- as Bailey and Bloom do -- is to find a refreshingly different way in to reading the text.J. K.

It doesn't make me feel defensive, for some reason. Maybe it's because I have also learned (through websites like this one, and from my college history-of-philosophy classes long ago) that it's possible to examine one's own epistemology and open oneself to other epistemologies. Kenneth Bailey, a Christian scholar and theologian with Middle-Eastern roots, has taught me a lot about reading the Bible through his epistemology. It's like a light that illuminates the beauty of the Gospel, showing colors I had not seen before.

More!<br /><br />Thanks also for sharing so personally how you have changed things for yourself!

My father has never grown up, and it is in large part due, to my domesticated mother who believed the 1950s brainwashing that her job was to suck it up and keep the family together regardless of what my father did. I can think of a quite a few men on both sides of my family in 3 different generations that have never grown up.<br /><br />The only difference now is that most women don't put up with it and leave and find men who are adults. Or like me: wait to marry later, insisting that we are going to marry an adult man to begin with.Shawna Atteberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752697766813703698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931921496989071942.post-89026917801364856422011-10-05T16:29:08.427-05:002011-10-05T16:29:08.427-05:00Interesting information, Kurk.

And he really did do so very awfully. Here's Historian and documentarian Timothy W. Ryback again:<br /><br />[[ At age thirty-five [some 3 years after he had dictated or had typed the Gemlich letter], Hilter had not even mastered basic spelling. He writes "<i>es gibt</i>" -- "there is" -- phonetically rather than grammatically as "<i>es giebt.</i>" But the remnant pieces I studied, including Hitler's original draft for the first chapter of <i>Mein Kampf</i>, as well as an eighteen-page outline to five subsequent chapters, demonstrate he took his writing seriously.<br /><br />It has long been assumed that Hitler dictated <i>Mein Kampf</i> to his fellow prisoners, in particular his personal secretary, Rudolf Hess, and his chauffeur and bodyguard, Emil Maurice. In fact, Hitler had begun work on his manuscript before either one of them arrived in Landsberg. This first draft, typed in Pica with faded blue ribbon, shows a fitful start to the four-hundred-page book that was to follow. A single line is typed across the top of the untitled page, "It is not by chance that my cradle," then breaks off, drops two carriage returns, and begins anew. "It must be seen in my opinion as a positive omen that my cradle stood in Braunau since this small town lies directly on the boarder of two German states whose reunification we young people see as a higher goal in life," Hitler writes with an evidently measured cadence, though he misspells <i>higher</i> -- <i>hohre</i> rather than <i>höhere</i> -- before pulling two more carriage returns and plunging into an emphatic claim that this reunification is driven not be economic considerations -- "<i>Nein! Nein!</i> he hammers -- but by the common bond of blood. "<i>Gemeinsames Blut gehört in ein gemeinsames Reich!</i>" he writes. "Common blood belongs in a common empire."<br /><br />At some point in the opening paragraphs, Hitler paused, took a blue pencil, and went back to make amendments, striking out his first failed sentence, making one grammatical correction, but overlooking several others. ]] (page 72)<br /><br />I've inserted the image of this page that Ryback describes -- <a href="http://speakeristic.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-hitler-thought-of-women-who-were.html" rel="nofollow">at the end of my blogpost above</a>.

Thank you for lending your expertise and...Kristen,<br /><br />Thank you for lending your expertise and your education to the possibilities. What you are suggesting is certainly consistent with the known facts. There is also evidence that Hitler did not really care so much, at certain stages of writing, how cleanly texts were produced. Historian and documentarian Timothy W. Ryback says: <br /><br />[[ When Hitler boasted of his education at state expense, he not only flaunted his disdain for the Bavrian penal system but also exposed hiw meager understanding of serious education, a fact that is revealed in <i>Mein Kampf</i> both in terms of its vacuous intellectual content and <b><i>its painfully flawed grammar</i></b>. In the surviving bits of unpublished Hitler texts I found in archives across Europe and America, <i><b>[Hitler] the collector-cum-author emerges as a half-educated man who has mastered neither basic spelling nor common grammar. His raw texts are riddled with lexical and syntactical errors.</b></i> ]] (page 71, <i>Hitler's Private Library: The Books That Shaped His Life</i>, my <i><b>emphases</b></i>.)<br /><br />I should add that Charles Hamilton Jr. is probably the leading expert on Hitler's authentic signature; he's attested it in numerous cases with many examples, and he's even described it in detail in his <i>Leaders and Personalities of the Third Reich</i>. And yet, not only can we take Hamilton's word as credible with respect to the originality of Hitler's signature on the Gemlich letter in the Simon Wiesenthal Center but we can also look to other experts who have verified the signature in various contexts. Since Anonymous is a collector, he's surely even familiar with <a href="http://www.snyderstreasures.com/pages/documents_ah.htm" rel="nofollow">online sources of these original signatures of Hitler, in collection for review and sometime for sale, collectors such as this one</a>.J.

What se...Katherine: Thank you for your kind words!<br /><br />What seems incredible is the laws of the Romans that the Korinthian men (and their women) would have had to obey; for example:<br /><br />In <i>De Re Public</i>, Cicero (c. 106 – 43 BCE) records this very interesting set of laws:<br /><br />"VI. The judgment of the censor inflicts scarcely anything more than a blush on the man whom he condemns. Therefore as all that adjudication turns solely on the name (<i>nomen</i>), the punishment is called ignominy.<br /><br />Nor should a prefect be set over women, an officer who is created among the Greeks; but <b>there should be a censor to teach husbands to manage their wives</b>.<br /><br />So the discipline of modesty has great power. <b>All women abstain from wine</b>.<br /><br /><b>And also if any woman was of bad character, her relations used not to kiss her.<br /><br />So petulance is derived from asking (<i>petendo</i>); wantonness (<i>procacitas</i>) from <i>procando</i>, that is, from demanding.</b>"<br /><br />In D.1.5.9., Papinian (c. 140 to 212) writes:<br /><br />"there are many points in our law in which the condition of females is inferior to that of males" (<i>deterior est condicio feminarum quam masculorum)</i> <br /><br />In D.50.17.2, Ulpian (c. 170 to 223), writes: <br /><br />"females are debarred from all civil and public functions" (<i>feminae ab omnibus officiis civilibus vel publicis</i>)J.
