The First Testament

More about the book

The translation offers a direct, word-for-word interpretation of the Old Testament, preserving the original Hebrew's unique nuances. By avoiding the typical adaptations that soften the text for contemporary readers, it invites a fresh perspective on the sacred scripture. Goldingay's approach emphasizes the raw and unfiltered nature of the biblical text, encouraging readers to engage with its original voice and meaning without the influence of modern religious interpretations.
