...last October, the committee uses brackets to denote inserted words that do not occur in the actual text of the Bible. Beyond that, the committee has banished some passages now deemed offensive, such as Paul's teaching on marriage in Ephesians 5 ("Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord"). The committee excised verses from 7 Corinthians 6 in which Paul assails Christian men who use prostitutes, presumably because women are portrayed as sex objects...

Those who imagine that he just sat down in cornfields and let the landscape write itself through him are refuted by the actual sequence of his drawings. Some of his most vivid and impassioned-looking sketches-the coiling, toppling surf, the silent explosion of wheat stocks, the sun grinding in the speckled sky above the road to Tarascon-are in fact copies he made after his own paintings and sent to his fellow...
