{"product_id":"the-bibles-many-voices","title":"The Bible's Many Voices","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most common English translations of the Bible often sound like a single  somewhat archaic voice. In fact  the Bible is made up of many separate books composed by multiple writers in a wide range of styles and perspectives. It is  as Michael Carasik demonstrates  not a remote text reserved for churches and synagogues but rather a human document full of history  poetry  politics  theology  and spirituality.  Using historic  linguistic  anthropological  and theological sources  Carasik helps us distinguish between the Jewish Bibles voicesthe mythic  the historical  the prophetic  the theological  and the legal. By articulating the differences among these voices  he shows us not just their messages and meanings but also what mattered to the authors. In these contrasts we encounter the Bible anew as a living work whose many voices tell us about the world out of which the Bible grewand the world that it created.
