The Literature Page

The New Oxford Annotated Bible; NRSV with the Apocrypha, an ecumenical study bible, Michael D. Coogan, editor, c. 1989; full price, $45; Barnes and Noble purchase in 2016.

It's been a long, long time since I've read the Bible from a historical point of view, and as a piece of literature. Of course, I know the New Testament very, very well -- at least the first four books, but the Old Testament has always played second fiddle for me.

I am now in that stage of life, and for whatever reason, I find the Old Testament -- as history and literature -- absolutely fascinating. One can go to wiki and find "an answer" for any question one might have about the Old Testament, but it is so much rewarding to stumble upon it (often, again) on one's own.

Two quick examples:
  • east of Eden: Genesis 3:24; and, Genesis 4:16 (the land of Nod, or as I used to think, "the land of nog", but that's another story for another time)
  • one-tenth: Genesis 14:20
When I saw "east of Eden" in context, I immediately thought of "beyond the pale," something I've discussed many, many times.
