Genesis: New Translation of the Classic Bible Stories, A
Stephen Mitchell, author ofThe Gospel According to Jesusand a participant in Bill Moyer's PBS television series on Genesis, has produced a new translation of the Bible's first book. Mitchell's sensitivity to the original Hebrew language and the history of biblical scholarship is evident in his carefully written work. But it is his overwhelming concern with contemporary relevance that marks this translation. Those interested in new means of situating the spiritual message of Genesis will likely welcome Mitchell's phrasings and interpretations.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
