John Goldingay is Professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, California, and formerly Principal of St John's College, Nottingham. Tom Wright is Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews, and formerly Bishop of Durham.
While new translations of the Bible are constantly appearing, with
the vast majority only offering slight variations, Goldingay's
translation here offers a fresh alternative, providing a rare
glimpse into the language, culture, and worldview of ancient
Israel. . . Everyone will love this. * David T. Lamb, Professor of
Old Testament, Biblical Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania *
John Goldingay's translation is a magisterial work of theology,
pastoral insight, and linguistic scholarship. . . It has
immediately become one of the standard translations that I always
consult when trying to understand any Old Testament text myself. *
Gordon McConville, Professor of Old Testament Theology, University
of Gloucestershire *
We hear the familiar flow of passages we know well, but with
unexpected and arresting words that make us sometimes pause and
think again. This is a book to browse in, alongside your customary
Bible version, for fresh insights, challenge and enjoyment. *
Christopher J. H. Wright, International Ministries Director,
Langham Partnership *
This is a remarkable achievement. . . Tom Wright has a very
attractive feel for English; and the mere fact of producing a fresh
translation that is both scholarly and written in non-repellent
language makes this work a major triumph.' * Expository Times *
Fresh, insightful and accessible. . . this translation directs the
reader to new lines of thought and reflection, especially helpful
with some of the best known and perhaps over-familiar passages. . .
An excellent resource. * The Reader *
I love the easy flow of the narrative, and the way it is broken
down into bite-sized chunks. . . This truly is a book for Everyone.
* The Good Book Stall *
