DESCRIPTION:
Claude Mariottini has selected several difficult passages from the Old Testament and compared how different translations have dealt with these difficult texts. Translators seek to convey to today’s readers the message the biblical writers tried to communicate to their original readers. He is the author of Paso a Paso por el Antiguo Testamento, “1 and 2 Chronicles,” in the Mercer Commentary on the Bible, “Deuteronomio,” in the Comentario Biblico Mundo Hispano, Perspectives on the Old Testament and Hebrew, and “1 and 2 Kings,” in The New Interpreter’s Study Bible. Mariottini is Professor of Old Testament at Northern Baptist Seminary. Modern readers have many choices when selecting a translation of the Bible for personal use. Rereading the Biblical Text: Searching for Meaning and Understanding deals with problems scholars face in translating Hebrew words and sentences into contemporary English. Pastors, seminary students, and serious students of the Bible will be challenged to reread the biblical text and understand the message of the biblical writers in a new perspective.

Dr. Ralph K. Hawkins said A Helpful Handbook for Pastors, Seminary Students, and Serious Students of the Bible. Claude Mariottini’s new book, Rereading the Biblical Text, aims to help Bible readers search out and understand the meaning of biblical texts. One of the key ideas Mariottini wants to drive home in this volume is the importance of translation in biblical interpretation. The book is aimed primarily at readers who do not know the biblical languages and therefore have to rely on translations. The main goal of a Bible translation is to convey the author’s original meaning to modern readers. However
