What is the purpose of this article? Basileias (talk) 01:27, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I couldn't say for sure whether it's intentional, but as it stands it's a wickedly constructed burn to the Living Bible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alephb (talk • contribs) 07:45, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I am sure that everything to be said about biblical paraphases can conveniently be said within the appropriate section of the paraphrase article and so I have put forward a merger proposal to this effect. BobKilcoyne (talk) 15:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Strongly disagree with the proposed target. Bible translations would be much better. Or perhaps someone searching for this is after the list of paraphrases at Dynamic and formal equivalence. StAnselm (talk) 17:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not. We shouldn't even have a section on this at paraphrase. Biblical paraphrase is not a type of paraphrase; it's a type of literary work that involves a process of editorialisation applied to the Bible that can hardly even be called paraphrase. StAnselm's suggestion seems preferable, but I'm undecided as to whether any merge is necessary. small jars 01:18, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Proposal to merge with paraphrase withdrawn given comments to date. - BobKilcoyne (talk) 13:01, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
