Book Description:
|
The language of the Bible can be beautiful but profoundly elusive, possessing a strangeness that only deepens the committed reader's sense of its impenetrability. This book offers a close reading of the Bible itself, directing attention to the text rather than to commentaries or to ostensible lessons to be discovered by paraphrase.
