Scripture Zealot (Jeff) on Bible Translations and Target “Reading Levels”

Jeff, AKA Scripture Zealot, has made some interesting points/observations in a post titled Translations, Target “Reading Level” and Their Differing Uses.

He starts off:

People say that different translations are for people of different reading levels or are at least at certain reading levels. The CEV would be preschoolers and ESV would be for people going for their PhD. (Hyperbole) But is that really what the translators are targeting?

Shouldn’t there be a term like “Bible comprehension level”?
