Talk:Parable of the Sower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] 2006-08-06 Edit
Re-established division between Parable text and additional information for obvious reasons. Changed title of sections that provide additional comments on the parable to increase clairity of content instead of simply lumping them all under "commentary". Commentary is a perfectly valid word in this context but I believe that greater granularity is warrented...

This article seems a bit unbalanced. It give prominence to certain areas such as the Gospel of Thomas and LDS perspectives without other seemingly more important issues. Could someone flesh it out?

I added in a single copy of the parable text back into the article. I agree that people should be able to read their own chosen translation or, ideally, read multiple translations of the parable which is why the links to the other passages should remain as well. The reason I did this is due to the title of the article. If there isn't at least one version of the actual parable text included the title should really be changed to "Commentary on the Parable of the Sower".
In making the decision on which translation/version of the parable text to include I decided on the passage in Matthew since it is arguably the most exhaustive of the references and the NIV translation for readability. We could spend ages arguing about the TR vs MT or which translation and passage is "ideal" but these arguements would never be resolved and would only create petty bickering instead of improving the article.
