Synopsis
Many translations of the New Testament tread a challenging line between scholarly accuracy and living, spirit-filled words which will inspire a general reader. This unique version, by a priest of The Christian Community, balances the two in such a way that something of the Holy Spirit, working in the early church, can become part of a reader's experience.
Madsen draws on other translations, including Emil Bock's seminal German translation, as well as the sacramental language of The Christian Community, to present a singular version which uncovers the living wisdom of the Gospels.

The New Testament (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This translation of the New Testament attempts to deepen the reader's understanding of the Bible, by seeking a way between the strictly literal and contemporary idiom, so that something of the spirit working in the early Church can become part of the reader's modern experience. The translator was inspired both by sacramental language used in his works as a priest and by Emil Bock's translation of the Gospels into German. Madsen, like Bock is convinced that the living wisdom of the Gospels needs uncovering. He seeks to recover the overtones and subtleties of the ancient language to bring out the hidden depths of meaning. This translation of the New Testament attempts to deepen the reader's understanding of the Bible, by seeking a way between the strictly literal and contemporary idiom, so that something of the spirit working in the early Church can become part of the reader's modern experience.
