Description

San Francisco et al.: Harper & Row, 1985 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Blue boards, gilt titles on spine, xxxiv, 594 pp, footnotes, sources. Top corners bumped, scattered pencil notes, a review & original sales slip taped to fpd. DJ creased at bumped corners & shows a bit of edge wear; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "...astonishingly unlike the familiar New Testament as it has been handed down to us--yet...arguably much closer in language and spirit to the original writings, capturing anew their vitality and immediacy. ...Schonfield draws on extensive research into the primitive church to set the Gospels and Epistles solidly in their own time and place, relating them to contemporary literature, customs, and beliefs. He systematically corrects mistakes in translation that were compounded over time, and corrects for later theological developments that he believes were falsely ascribed to the original writers." The notes explain difficulties of translation, elements of culture that would have been familiar to early readers, and allusions to the Old Testament and to other ancient literature. Shipping weight 3 lbs.. First US Edition. . VG/VG+. 24 X 16½ cm.
