    Thanks for the opportunity to read some of the Inclusive Bible (12 Minor Prophets). I’ve just ordered it online from Amazon. I like the use of YHWH in this translation. (This was the custom of the Jerusalem Bible first published in 1966, until stopped by decree of Pope emeritus Benedict in recent years. It was a 1977 edition of the JB that first got me interested in Biblical studies as a young man).
