Legos, not rocks: grammar ; Magic words: vocabulary ; You mean the Bible has style? ; Poetry in the Bible : the living word of everything and nothing ; Authorship or rhetoric or voice or something ; Scripture as the big conversation ; Let your mind alone : comedy -- Possibilities put forward : mainly, the passages retranslated -- An account of the fuller facts : my scholarly resources and methods--as if."In this dazzling reconsideration of the language of the Old and New Testaments, acclaimed scholar and translator of Classical literature Sarah Ruden argues that the Bible's modern translations often lack the clarity and vitality of the originals. Singling out the most famous passages, such as the Genesis creation story, the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and the Beatitudes, Ruden reexamines and retranslates from the Hebrew and Greek, illuminating what has been misunderstood and obscured in standard English translations. By showing how the original texts more clearly reveal our cherished values, Ruden gives us an unprecedented understanding of what this extraordinary document was for its earliest readers and what it can still be for us today."--Back cover

When I was a child I read books [large print] : essays / by Robinson, Marilynne.(CARDINAL)514028;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-302).Freedom of thought -- Imagination and community -- Austerity as ideology -- Open thy hand wide: Moses and the origins of American liberalism -- When I was a child -- The fate of ideas: Moses -- Wondrous love -- The human spirit and the good society -- Who was Oberlin? -- Cosmology.Since the 1981 publication of Marilynne Robinson's novel, Housekeeping, she has built a sterling reputation not only as a writer of sharp, subtly moving prose, but also as a rigorous thinker and incisive essayist. In this new collection she returns to the themes which have preoccupied her work: the role of faith in modern life, the inadequacy of fact, and the contradictions inherent in human nature. Clear-eyed and forceful as ever, Robinson demonstrates once again why she is regarded as a modern rhetorical master.

The face of water : a translator on beauty and meaning in the Bible / by Ruden, Sarah,author.(CARDINAL)342268;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-218) and indexes.Preface: Opening the tome -- Introduction: Okay, the Bible--what about it? -- Part 1. Impossibilities illustrated : the character of the languages and texts. Legos, not rocks : grammar ; Magic words : vocabulary ; You mean the Bible has style? ; Poetry in the Bible : the living word of everything and nothing ; Authorship or rhetoric or voice or something ; Scripture as the big conversation ; Let your mind alone : comedy -- Part 2. Possibilities put forward : mainly, the passages retranslated -- Part 3. An account of the fuller facts : my scholarly resources and methods--as if.In The Face of Water, Sarah Ruden brilliantly and elegantly explains and celebrates the Bible’s writings. Singling out the most famous passages, such as the Genesis creation story, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Beatitudes, Ruden reexamines and retranslates from the Hebrew and Greek what has been obscured and misunderstood over time. Making clear that she is not a Biblical scholar, cleric, theologian, or philosopher, Ruden—a Quaker—speaks plainly in this illuminating and inspiring book. She writes that while the Bible has always mattered profoundly, it is a book that in modern translations often lacks vitality, and she sets out here to make it less a thing of paper and glue and ink and more a live and loving text.
