Something positive to come out of David Hart's work is his rebuke on our use (or misuse) of the Greek Historical Present (HP). The HP used in the Greek New Testament (mostly Gospels) regularly gets moved to the past tense. For example:

This sounds like an exercise in self-indulgence. Using obtuse words shows that DBH is more concerned about peacocking to the academy than to share his translation to the common man (or common pastor). Plus, I do not care for his criticisms against translation-by-committee. Committees ensure that personal idiosyncrasies (like DBH's use of obscure words) are kept out and more understandable prose be used instead. Sometimes it is better to be prudent than avant garde.
