Rodney Willard Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I just received a facinating book from Amazon -- "God, Sky, and Land." It is a retrotraslation of Genesis 1 & 2 to allow us to hear what the first listeners heard in terms of their understanding and culture.

Administrators Gail Posted September 29, 2011 Administrators Share Posted September 29, 2011 Interesting! Have you got a picture of the cover? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators John317 Posted September 30, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2011 I just received a facinating book from Amazon -- "God, Sky, and Land."It is a retrotraslation of Genesis 1 & 2 to allow us to hear what the first listeners heard in terms of their understanding and culture. Could you copy here the first several paragraphs of chapter 1 and also the first 3 verses of chapter 2? That will give us an idea of what the book is like. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted September 30, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2011 It's by Fritz Guy and Brian Bull, and published by Spectrum. [i gleaned this information from the listing on Amazon.com.] It should be very interesting to read a "retrotranslation" of the first two chapters of Genesis, in the phraseology that the early Israelites heard it read.
