Possibly, yet in "The Heretic Sage" interviews, ven. Nanananda mentions that he felt compelled to tone down some of the texts to accommodate Nyanaponika/BPS's proclivities. Alas the link to those interviews seems to be down at the moment so I cannot provide a direct quote. Either way, I do think Bhikkhu Bodhi has progressively moved away from the conservative/traditional Theravada end of the spectrum.

Metta,

Not to change the subject, but the Heretic Sage interviews are available below.

This is great to hear! I'm so grateful to all the people that contribute to the teachings. Without you, people like myself would not have access to these teachings. Dhamma is truly the greatest gift one could share with another. Congratulations Bhikkhu Bodhi!

I am currently reading Bhikkhu Bodhi's Anguttara Nikaya. Great work by a great individual.
