Colorado Springs Guidelines

Colorado Springs Guidelines

The Colorado Springs Guidelines address gender issues in Bible translation, in response to "gender-neutral" Bible translations.

They are not the product of any particular Christian denomination, but have been used, endorsed or cited by many Christian scholars, publishers and pastors. The guidelines were drafted at a meeting convened by James Dobson in Colorado Springs on May 27, 1997 and signed by twelve representatives of concerned parties. They were later revised slightly, and reissued on September 9, 1997 with ten of the original twelve participants explicitly assenting to the revisions.[citation needed]

According to two participants at the Colorado Springs meeting, the final list of guidelines was compiled by reference to two separate lists drafted by each of the two ostensibly opposing parties who had agreed to the meeting to discuss their differences. One list was supplied by concerned scholars and pastors, the other by Ken Barker on behalf of translators and publishers.[1]

The guidelines have found wide support amongst opponents of gender neutral translations, but have been criticised by supporters of gender neutral translations.
