Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Widely acclaimed by Bible scholars and theologians of every denomination, Everett Fox's masterful translation re-creates the echoes, allusions, alliterations, and wordplays of the Hebrew original. Together with its extensive commentary and illuminating notes, this unique translation draws the reader closer to the authentic living voice of the Bible. Review:"Fox's translation has the rare virtue of making constantly visible in English the Hebraic quality of the original, challenging preconceptions of what the Bible is really like. A bracing protest against the bland modernity of all the recent English versions of the Bible." -Robert Alter, professor of comparative literature, University of California, Berkeley Review:"No serious Bible reader--whether Jewish, Christian, or secular--can afford to ignore this volume." -Jon D. Levenson, Harvard Divinity School Synopsis:In a new paperback edition with an introduction, commentary, and notes comes a book that has been acclaimed as the single most important translation of the Old Testament.
