Joel Hoffman’s “And God Said” (preliminary thoughts)

I received my copy of Joel Hoffman’s well-intentioned And God Said:  How Translations Conceal the Bible's Original Meaning today (I had ordered it before Amazon started boycotting all Macmillan products) and opened it up to a random page – p. 234 as it turned out, and spotted errors immediately (Hoffman appears to be ignorant of that both Everett Fox and Robert Alter translated Shmeul [the books of Samuel] into English).  And no footnotes.  Not a good sign.  Sigh.

Save the Words

For just 30 second a day, you too can save some words in the English language.  Listen to them cry out for attention at this website.
