The New Testament by David Bentley Hart
A Translation
A rigorous, controversial English rendering of the Christian scriptural corpus that pairs a philologically attentive, often literal translation with substantive introductory essays and notes; the work seeks to recover the linguistic rhythms, idioms, and ambiguities of the Greek originals that many modern versions smooth over, while challenging common editorial practices in textual criticism and arguing that translation choices shape theological understanding. The result is both a fresh, sometimes stark presentation of the early Christian writings and a sustained argument about how best to read and render their language and meaning for contemporary readers.
