    The culmination of this work, Alter's masterly new translation and probing commentary combine to give contemporary readers the definitive edition of The Five Books. Alter's majestic translation recovers the mesmerizing effect of these ancient stories—the profound and haunting enigmas, the ambiguities of motive and image, and the distinctive cadences and lovely precision of the Hebrew text. Other modern translations either recast these features for contemporary clarity, thereby losing the character of the original, or fail to give readers a suitably fluid English as a point of contact. Alter's translation conveys the music and the meaning of the Hebrew text in a lyrical, lucid English. His accompanying commentary illuminates the text with learned insight and reflection on its literary and historical dimensions.

    Hall, the American philosopher, in over a period of 20 years of dynamic public activity, has steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can only be perfected when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation and worthy purpose. The book begins: In spite of human prejudice to the contrary, there is but one religion and one truth, and all the great faiths of the world are parts or fragments of the Ancient Wisdom. The Scriptures of the world are the written records devised both to preserve and at the same time to conceal the secrets of the forty-nine branches of the Eternal Law. It naturally follows that there is a certain interdependence between religious writings. To understand any one sacred book completely it is necessary to also understand all other sacred books.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.... “… A marvelous gift to readers of this Spanish mystic. Hardy’s life of John of the Cross is clear, concise, up-to-date, and completely reliable—the work of a scholar whose book will benefit both scholars and a general audience.” —Keith J. Egan Adjunct professor of theology, University of Notre Dame, Aquinas Chair in Catholic Theology Emeritus, Saint Mary’s College, South Bend, Indiana “ A skillful and thoroughly wonderful journey with John of the Cross! Hardy’s writing contradicts the idea that John is harsh and difficult to read as he exposes a compassionate and joyful saint in love with God. While we come to know John through Hardy’s careful presentation, we are also led toward self-discovery.” —Marilyn Palermo, T.O.Carm. Regional Coordinator, Lay Carmelite Order “… Most welcome….Hardy’s writing is lively as he describes sixteenth-century Spain in vivid colors, and tells the story of the reform of Carmel in dramatic fashion. John of the Cross comes alive as a human being greatly in love with God and God’s world.” —John Welch, O.Carm. Author of When Gods Die: An Introduction to John of the Cross and The Carmelite Way: An Ancient Path for Today’s Pilgrim “Individuals and groups making a first-time study of John will welcome Hardy’s thoughtful new appendices, which offer suggestions regarding how to read John’s works, an anthology of passages from the saint’s writings, and suggestions for further study.” —Jane Ackerman Department of Philosophy and Religion, University of Tulsa

    A new approach to interpretation has also gripped many evangelical seminaries and Bible colleges, an approach based on the ideas of unbelieving critics, stripping the Bible of God's message, and leaving pastors impoverished in their preaching. This book reveals what is happening, providing many brief examples of right and wrong interpretation. The author shows that the Bible includes its own rules of interpretation, and every believer should know what these are.

    Dominique Barthélemy was an internationally recognized expert on Old Testament studies and a member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission. In this highly acclaimed work he dispenses with the technical language of exegesis and linguistics and speaks more simply and directly-as a priest, a teacher, a believer -about the heart of the Biblical message. This work is a beautiful and inspiring introduction to the spiritual teaching of the Old Testament, a book that will greatly help believers to hear the renewing and rejuvenating Word of God with deepened understanding and appreciation. This is a book about the close relationship between God and man. It is about the long history of God's love for man and the struggles that man has had in remaining faithful to God and keeping intact the divine image in which he was created. Barthélemy's purpose here is to present what God says about himself and about those made in his image (man) in the inspired texts of Scripture. Fr. Barthélemy helps us see the profound unity between the Old and New Testaments, and he shows how the Old Testament is a necessary and valuable light for men of faith today. This powerful work by an acclaimed Biblical and spiritual writer will enkindle the heart and enlighten the mind of modern man to see who God really is and who we truly are in God's eyes, helping us to understand the full extent of our deep need for God and knowledge of our ultimate purpose in life
