Description

The Face of Water: A Translator's Reconsideration of the Bible's Language and Meaning Acclaimed translator Sarah Ruden offers a fresh perspective on the language of the Old and New Testaments. She argues that many modern translations lack the clarity and vitality of the originals, and sets out to reexamine and retranslate some of the most famous passages in the Bible. Ruden sheds new light on the Genesis creation story, the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and the Beatitudes, revealing what has been misunderstood or obscured in standard English translations. By showing how the original texts more clearly convey our cherished values, Ruden provides an unprecedented understanding of the Bible's significance for its earliest readers and its continued relevance today. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the meaning and language of the Bible.
