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.\nGenesis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118253334581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060928565","price":27.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060928568_7221b127-cb26-4786-a9fe-efebfdd8d7a9.jpg?v=1781203761","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/genesis-new-translation-of-the-classic-bible-stories-a-9780060928568","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
