Hardcover. Condition: FINE. Dust Jacket Condition: FINE. 923pp. 8vo, Silver gilt stamped black cloth with silver place ribbon. Second printing. Exceedingly clean and sharp in like DJ. From the publisher: 'In The First Testament: A New Translation, John Goldingay interrupts our sleepy familiarity with the Old Testament. He sets o…ur expectations off balance by inviting us to hear the strange accent of the Hebrew text. We encounter the sinewed cadences of the Hebrew Bible, its tics and its textures. Translating words consistently, word by word, allows us to hear resonances and see the subtle figures stitched into the textual carpet. In a day of white-bread renderings of the Bible, here is a nine-grain translation with no sugar or additives. In The First Testament the language of Zion comes to us unbaptized in pious religiosity. Familiar terms such as salvation, righteousness, and holiness are avoided. We cock our ears to listen more carefully, to catch the intonations and features we had not caught before . The First Testament is an invitation to read the sacred text through the eyes of one of the most accomplished Old Testament scholars in the English-speaking world today. With introductions to each book, it is an attractive translation for the classroom as much as for personal study and enjoyment.'.
