Mike announces his "passion project": hiring 5+ well-respected scholars (Craig Blomberg, Mark Strauss, Darrell Bock, Tremper Longman, Nijay Gupta) to each evaluate different books of the Passion Translation by Brian Simmons, producing free 5-page papers and video interviews. Goal: provide definitive scholarly assessment showing pervasive (not just isolated) problems with the translation.

The Passion Translation by Brian Simmons: sole translator, millions of copies sold, radically changes Scripture in places, adds theology not in original languages, claims non-existent Aramaic originals. Simmons' pattern: when scholars identify specific problem verses, he changes those verses in new editions but doesn't fix the systemic issues. Multiple scholars analyzing multiple books prevents this dodge. All papers and videos will be free.
