Hardback. Zustand: Good. "Breaks fresh ground.Mitchell's translation tells the stories in a voice much like the ancient Hebrew, without adornment."  -- Seattle Times From the author of The Gospel According to Jesus comes a new adaptation of the book of Genesis. In this highly acclaimed translation, Stephen Mitchell conveys in English the simplicity, dignity and powerful earthiness of the original Hebrew. More than just interpreting it, he also separates stories that were combined by scribes centuries after they were written, explaining their sources and omitting all verses that are recognized as scribal additions. Like removing coat after coat of lacquer from a once-vibrant masterpiece, this allows readers to appreciate the clarity of the original tales. Genesis is an extraordinarily beautiful book that is accessible in a way that no other translation has ever been. It will shed new light on readers' understanding of this seminal work of sacred scripture.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From the author of The Gospel According to Jesus comes a new adaptation of the psalms. Leading biblical scholar and translator Stephen Mitchell translates fifty of the most powerful and popular bible psalms to create poems that recreate the music of the original Hebrew verse. The collection draws on the ancient rabbinic title for the psalms, séfer tehillím, to present these classic hymns as songs of gratitude and praise. Throughout these selections, the translations address the divine as the Unnamable, setting aside rigid dogma to center on an immediate sense of wonder. Mitchell adapts both beloved prayers like the twenty-third psalm and expansive celebrations of creation to bring ancient biblical poetry into living contemporary speech. Sacred Texts: Mitchell translates the ancient Hebrew hymns known as mizmór, sung originally to the lyre, into poems that celebrate the goodness of life and the beauty of creation. Works in Translation: These adaptations bring traditional biblical verse into contemporary life, weaving modern images of string quartets, guitars, computers, and tools into Psalm 150. Raw Honesty: Alongside ecstatic praise, the selections honor human anguish and remorse, giving voice to the desperate grief of Psalm 13 and the deep repentance of Psalm 51. Spiritual Reflection: Prayer is approached, in this collection, as an act of profound listening, leading the reader past formal ritual toward the stillness where silence itself speaks. Also by This Author: Tao Te Ching, The Book of Job and The Gospel According to Jesus.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "I love The First Christmas. What a charming way Stephen Mitchell has found to tell my favorite story of all, the Nativity, character by character (I love the donkey and the ox), with wise and thrilling interludes about God, reality, truth." -Anne Lamott In The First Christmas, Stephen Mitchell brings the Nativity story to vivid life as never before. A narrative that is only sketched out in two Gospels becomes fully realized here with nuanced characters and a setting that reflects the culture of the time. Mitchell has suffused the birth of Jesus with a sense of beauty that will delight and astonish readers. In this version, we see the world through the eyes of a Whitmanesque ox and a visionary donkey, starry-eyed shepherds and Zen-like wise men, each of them providing a unique perspective on a scene that is, in Western culture, the central symbol for good tidings of great joy. Rather than superimposing later Christian concepts onto the Annunciation and Nativity scenes, he imagines Mary and Joseph experiencing the angelic message as a young Jewish woman and man living in the year 4 bce might have experienced it, with terror, dismay, and ultimate acceptance. In this context, their yes becomes an act of great moral courage. Readers of every background will be enchanted by this startlingly beautiful reimagining of the Christmas tale.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "If Mr. Mitchell gives an eloquent account of the effects of Job's poetry in his introduction, in the translation itself he does even better: he makes those effects come alive. Writing with three insistent beats to the line, and hammering home a succession of boldly defined images, he achieves a rare degree of vehemence and concentration." -- John Cross, New York Times The Book of Job pulses with moral energy, outrage, and spiritual insight; it is nothing less than human suffering and the transcendence of it. Now, The Book of Job has been translated into English by the eminent translator and scholar Stephen Mitchell, whose versions of Rilke, Israeli poetry, and the Tao Te Ching have been widely praised. This is the first time ever that the Hebrew verse of Job has been translated into verse in any language, ancient or modern, and the result is a triumph.…
