Synopsis
From one of our most celebrated writers on religion, a fresh, bold, and unsettling new translation of the New Testament "The greatest achievement of Hart's translation is to restore the urgency of the original. . . . It is beautiful."--James Mumford, Standpoint "This translation is a remarkable feat."--Lucy Beckett, Times Literary Supplement David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur," "as if doctrine is not given." Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts' impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening readers to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers. The early Christians' sometimes raw, astonished, and halting prose challenges the idea that the New Testament affirms the kind of people we are. Hart reminds us that they were a company of extremists, radical in their rejection of the values and priorities of society not only at its most degenerate, but often at its most reasonable and decent. "To live as the New Testament language requires," he writes, "Christians would have to become strangers and sojourners on the earth, to have here no enduring city, to belong to a Kingdom truly not of this world. And we surely cannot do that, can we?", From one of our most celebrated writers on religion comes this fresh, bold, and unsettling new translation of the New Testament David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur," "as if doctrine is not given."

- m***a (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBooks new and as described, however during the shipping process the cover got damaged due to the box it was in and the book not being wrapped. Side note, not a bad one. But the packaging has "warning may contain awesome books". While I'm not necessarily mad about it, it was a surprise gift for my wife that i still needed to wrao and she saw the box. So if it's a gift plan accordingly.
