A few weeks ago, the translation committee for the English Standard Version met to discuss revising portions of the translation. (I actually had the rare privilege of running into the group as they were coming back from lunch one day.) While they met, they spent time answering questions that had been raised by Adrian Warnock and others. Even though the answers are short, I think they serve as at least a point of reference for how the committee made some tough decisions during translation.
