Description: This translation is a stunning achievement - to read it is to hear the Bible as if for the first time.

While other English translations of the Bible render its language as if it had been written in English, this new translation re-creates the full force of the Bible's original rhetoric and poetry - its rhythms, nuances, and stylistic devices - allowing the English reader to experience the spiritual and aesthetic power of the Bible's own voice while recovering layers of meaning that are missed entirely in conventional translations.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 1015-1024).
