Moo (the Chairman), Jobs (the Secretary), Fee and Walker all served on the committee that produced the much-criticized, sometimes genderl-neutral TNIV.  Moo was quoted by the ''Tennessean'' as being highly critical of the [[Conservative Bible Project]]:  "Silly is probably as kind as I could be about it," he said. "Any serious people working on Bible translation know that you have to leave as much ideology at the door as possible to do a good job."
