Inhaltsangabe

&;Hart is doing something important.&;&;James Parker, Atlantic
 
&;The greatest achievement of Hart&;s translation is to restore the urgency of the original. . . compelling, and it is beautiful.&;&;James Mumford, Standpoint
 
&;This translation is a remarkable feat.&;&;Lucy Beckett, Times Literary Supplement
 
David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of &;etsi doctrina non daretur,&; &;as if doctrine is not given.&; Reproducing the texts&; often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts&; impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening readers to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers.
 
The early Christians&; sometimes raw, astonished, and halting prose challenges the idea that the New Testament affirms the kind of people we are. Hart reminds us that they were a company of extremists, radical in their rejection of the values and priorities of society not only at its most degenerate, but often at its most reasonable and decent. &;To live as the New Testament language requires,&; he writes, &;Christians would have to become strangers and sojourners on the earth, to have here no enduring city, to belong to a Kingdom truly not of this world. And we surely cannot do that, can we?&;
