(Hardcover Edition only) The Latin Torah: Fresh Translations of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy represents the oldest portion of the oldest extant Bible in the world. Torah, a "teaching", is the Jewish name for the first five books of the Bible. This book of books and the God revealed in it are sacred alike to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The documents have existed in some form since the reign of King Solomon, some ten centuries before Christ. The Latin version of the Bible, found in Codex Amiatinus, the world's oldest Bible (containing all the books in our "consensus" Bibles, plus a few extras), was painstakingly crafted by Saint Jerome in the late 4th Century of the Christian Era, at the apex of seven centuries of biblical scholarship in many languages. In The Latin Torah, John Cunyus renders Jerome's ancient, Latin version into contemporary English, in a verse-by-verse translation. Each verse of Latin is followed by a verse of English. Stripped of all extraneous commentary and opinion, this book strives to present the heart of scripture in as straightforward a way as possible. |
