xvii, 526 p. ; map ; hbk ; 24 cm. "Most readers of the New Testament have grown overly familiar with the biblical text, losing sight of the wonder and breadth of its innovative ideas and world-changing teachings about the life and role of Jesus of Nazareth. Wright now offers an all-new English translation that allows us to encounter afresh these historic works. The original Greek text is vibrant, alive, and active, and Wright's translation retains that spirit by providing a new English text for the twenty-first-century reader. At the same time, based on his work as a pioneering interpreter of the Bible, Wright also corrects other translations so as to provide more accurate representations of the original writers' intent. New translation includes: - Consistent use of gender-neutral language - A more "popular-level" language matching character of original Greek - The vibrancy and urgency of the original works"-- by N.T. Wright. Translated from the original Greek text. modern translation 225.5209/WRI 9780062064912 (hardback) 2011017199 DLC 110420 20130122155325.0 16743173
