I am so happy to find you website. I was at Ave Maria in Michigan about the time you attended college and stayed as a guest at the president’s house while taping a radio interview for my then radio program “Haverim”. What a small world!
Blessings,

Just bought your book on the ESV Catholic Edition and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. Maybe you already answered this question. I am a long-time reader of the ESV and I like it, the traditional language, and particularly all the available study resources, mostly relatively inexpensive. And I understand the UK has recently adopted the ESV-CE for its Lectionary (?). And I understand ESV-CE translates Matt. 16:26 as “and lose his soul,” agreeing with the traditional D-R, which makes more theological sense to me than “lose his life,” which the RSV-CE and Ignatius’s RSV2CE use. BUT, I don’t see many USA Catholics using the ESV-CE. Seems most use the RSVCE or Ignatius’s expensive RSV2CE, even Augustine Institute’s Bible App. Why is the ESV-CE not more widely read in the USA than the RSVCE or the RSV2CE?

@John Dill: Thanks for your comment! I’m not sure I have a good answer to your question except that the ESV-CE seems more widely-read by Catholics in countries that are adopting it for the Lectionary, which makes sense to me. So Catholics in England and India will be reading it more than others.
I’m a cradle Catholic that never studied Salvation History in depth. I’m looking forward to this website.
