Inhaltsangabe

A “Concise Christian Canon” that provides the essence of the New Testament message about the person and teaching of Jesus in a publication brief enough to be nonthreatening, yet long enough to be taken seriously, and interesting enough to appeal to believers and unbelievers alike is needed today in an age were the superfluos abounds. Scripture Stark Naked is just such a book! This publication, which is about the size of National Geographic, represents a serious endeavor to create a “Concise Christian Canon”—without doctrinal note or comment—that challenges contemporary readers with the person and teaching of Jesus. Moreover, the use of “naked” in the sense of “pure” or “unadulterated” is not uncommon in present-day usage, and it serves as an appropriate attention getter for this mission-driven translation that is in sync with both the original source and the contemporary scene! The size and format makes it great for devotions.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Barclay M. Newman was Chair and Chief Translator of the Contemporary English Version (CEV) of the Bible, first published in 1995 by the American Bible Society, then in 2006 by G.P. Putnam’s Sons (Penguin Books) as Seek Find: The Bible for All People. He was a member of the Old Testament Committee for the Good News Bible, (Today’s English Version) published in 1976 by the American Bible Society (ABS), and chaired the revision that was published by the (ABS) in 1992 as the Good News Translation (GNT). In 1974, Newman was invited to establish a Department of Translation at the University of Malaysia, where he also lectured in both English and Malay for two years. At the request of the Malaysian Ministry of Education, he translated from Malay into English a novel, several books of poetry, and a collection of short stories, all of which reflected Islamic perspectives and culture. He has written extensively on issues of translation, both religious and secular, including A Concise Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament (first published in 1971—revised and expanded in 2010). He has co-authored translator’s handbooks on Judges, Matthew, John, Acts, Romans, and Jeremiah; as well as almost one hundred articles on various subjects. His Running Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament was published in 2010 by the German Bible Society (DBG) in conjunction with the latest edition of the United Bible Societies’ Greek New Testament. Dr. Newman’s hobby is writing serious satire, semi-poetry, and other sensible and non-sensible stuff. In 2006 the National Liberty Museum (Philadelphia) in conjunction with the Satell Foundation and the Interfaith Institute named him the “International Interfaith Person of the Year”.
