Retitling of the day

A bibliography item in the Bible commentary I'm working on:

C. J. H. Wright, Living as the People of God (IVP/UK, 1983), published in USA as An Eye for an Eye (IVP/USA, 1983).

Um, that's a pretty substantial title change; what, do they think Americans are too bloodthirsty to buy a book without a violent title? "The heck with living devoutly as the faithful people of our revered Lord, when do we get to poke somebody's eye out?"
