Relativity: The Special and General Theory w/Figures & Formulas by Albert Einstein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For a book written over one hundred years ago, this writing is admirably clear and concise. Einstein explains moving beyond the limits of plane, Euclidian geometry (no pun intended). He certainly wasn’t saying Euclidian geometry was wrong per se, but rather that it wasn’t sufficient to deal with real practical problems of the world and space. If I have understood his work, time is not constant and the universe is spherical, or elliptical, in shape. If I can make a practical application of this masterly work, my weight as a semi-rigid body in a Galileian system will vary relative to the motion, i.e., acceleration or unaccelation, of my body in time-space and the point of observation. So, the next time my doctor complains about me being overweight, I can suggest that is due to the observation point and it is all relative anyway.

English Bible Translations – By What Standard by William O. Einwechter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book presents a decent and concise explanation of the presuppositional veiw of Bible translation. He is a bit heavy-handed at times and I have read conflicting information on a few points. He does make a good case for formal equivalence in a translation, while acknowledging that complete formal equivalence is not possible. He also has a very brief appendix on the errors of typical KJVO advocates and distinguishing such positions from traditional and confessional views on the subject.
