About this deal

After that comes the mere black hole of "faith", one of the most heinous conceptions our diseased imaginations have ever produced. Ignoring evil and promoting ungodliness may be seen as tolerant, but it does not result in anything truly positive. Classic but not stodgy, up-to-date but not trendy, The New Oxford Annotated Bible: 4th Edition is ready to serve new generations of students, teachers, and general readers. At last I can find out what the relevant experts are saying - or NOT saying - on a particular topic, and thus to find out what we know and (just as importantly) don't know about such things as the process by which the canon now known as the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh was composed, compiled, edited and redacted - i.

I've been discovering far more about the Bible since I became an atheist than I ever did when I was a fundamentalist Christian. Rather than offering a single theological viewpoint, for example, different viewpoints of historical importance are offered, and the reader is allowed to choose which, if any, viewpoint seems most sensible. As a major bonus, this Bible comes complete with the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonicals - including books that do not appear in the Catholic Bible but do appear in the Greek and Russian Orthodox Bibles. English Bible translations fall somewhere along a continuum between a woodenly literal rendition and a free, or liberal, style. the soundness of whose empirical and logical basis is in inverse proportion to the frequency of its repetition.I wanted to preface this by saying I'm going to be reading the Bible and Qur'an parallel to each other for academic and philosophical reasons.

This is useful in understanding the context, which is imperative when reading The Bible appropriately. Again, the NOAB team lets the Bible speak for itself, from the times in which it was written, and help us read the Bible on its own terms, rather than imposing *our* terms upon it.The first edition of the New Oxford Annotated Bible (NOAB) was published in 1973, employing the RSV text. Praise be to Allah that all the blather in so many "Christian" English editions, in which the translators express the hope that the results of their labours might convince the reader to believe what they believe, is absent.

When many other Bibles can have links to each chapter within a book this one should be able to so as well.

The result is a volume which maintains and extends the excellence the Annotated's users have come to expect, bringing new insights, information, and approaches to bear upon the understanding of the text of the Bible. The existence of a difficult passage is meaningless in verifying or rejecting the inspiration of the Bible. And, to make certain points in the text clearer for the reader, there are approximately 40 in-text, line drawing maps and diagrams.

I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever" - the NRSV rendering of Psalm 23:4 is: "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil.
