Oxford Annotated Bible-RSV (Revised Standard Version New Oxford Annotated Bible-RSV (Revised Standard Version

I'm agnostic and way more spiritual - in fact I'm more in tune with the spiritual ancestry of my Maori forefathers and believe in the interconnectedness of humanity. I'm incredibly tired of being shunned from discourse of theism due to Christian family saying I know nothing of the Bible and Qur-an - and thus cannot defend Islamic individuals or criticise Christian ones in their eyes Perhaps this brought some comfort to the ancient Hebrews, but reading it from beginning to end as a modern person just makes being one of God’s chosen people seem like a bad deal. Use this code: to quote any biblical passage you wish!The most interesting parts were not the text of the Bible itself, but the annotations, introductions and essays by the scholars and translators that worked on this edition. (I read the fifth edition.) It really would have been difficult to understand anything without the context that these essays gave to the text. From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies. Bible errors, contradictions, and discrepancies. The sections on homosexuality and tolerance can be answered simply and concisely. Speaking the truth and not tolerating sin is the most loving thing we can do. Ignoring evil and promoting ungodliness may be seen as tolerant, but it does not result in anything truly positive. There were a few parts that I enjoyed; especially the book of Job and Ecclesiastes. Job’s lamentation in the depths of his suffering was about the only thing that touched me emotionally, and Ecclesiastes was somewhat interesting, if only because the philosophy is so different from the rest of the Bible. The first edition of the New Oxford Annotated Bible (NOAB) was published in 1973, employing the RSV text. [2] [3] After the release of the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible in 1989, OUP published a second edition of the NOAB based on that translation. The NRSV was also the basis of the third edition (2001), edited by Dr. Michael Coogan, which is considered to be much more ecumenical in approach. For example, it calls the Old Testament the "Hebrew Bible" out of consideration to Jewish readers. [7]

Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; Herbert G. May, 73, Biblical Scholar". The New York Times Archives. New York. The New York Times Company. 11 October 1977. p.38 . Retrieved 4 March 2020. It seems that often in the Western tradition the Bible is held to a different standard. As with the other great works it was written by man. Never mind the argument that if it were divinely inspired it would be "perfect." If you you believe in divine inspiration, you can imagine rationalizations providing for God to leave it imperfect. If you don't believe, well, you get what you have.Now for simple reading pleasure, instead of The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha, I do in fact still very much prefer the King James Bible, which we actually read at school for grade seven English (the Old Testament) and for grade eight English (the New Testament) and thus in the early 1980s. But I also and really do have to wonder if in today's world, reading the King James Bible in a secular type of school setting would even be deemed as acceptable and as appropriate (although indeed, our perusal in English class was always completely and totally based on seeing and approaching the King James Bible as a work of literature, as a work of fiction, and not ever as religious dogma). I’m not going to rate this book. Despite the fact that the Bible itself is not great, I’m sure the translators worked really hard and did a good job, so I don’t want to leave a bad rating. Leaving a good rating doesn’t feel right either because it’s an awful book. I wanted to preface this by saying I'm going to be reading the Bible and Qur'an parallel to each other for academic and philosophical reasons. I've been interested in Abrahamic religions and want to start somewhere. In no way am I doing this for religious reasons, but purely because I want to understand theism. I was raised in a pseudo-Christian setting where on the surface level, everyone pretended to be Christian but really were undecided and ultimately didn't think. I heard someone say in my youth that even if the Bible is not the divine word of God, it is still the best guide going to living your life. While it may be difficult to see this is the Old Testament, it does serve to establish a context for the "new" message of the New Testament.

A fully revised Fourth Edition was released in May 2010. It contains new color maps and updated essays and commentaries. As always, versions with and without the Apocrypha were made available.

Coogan, Michael D., ed. (2018). New Oxford Annotated Bible (5thed.). p.xiv. ISBN 9780190276119. In keeping with the general desire to take account of the diversity of the users of this study Bible, the editors have adopted two widely‐accepted conventions: referring to the first portion of the text as 'the Hebrew Bible,' since it is a collection preserved by the Jewish community and that is how Jews regard it; and citing all dates in the notes as BCE or CE ('Before the Common Era' and 'Common Era') instead of BC or AD ('Before Christ' and 'Anno Domini' ['in the year of the Lord']), which imply a Christian view of the status of Jesus of Nazareth. Use of the title 'Old Testament' for those books here designated as 'the Hebrew Bible' is confined to instances expressing the historical view of various Christian interpreters. After consulting Abrahamic religions I will move onto others. I come from a country with a melting pot of religious beliefs, from ancestry worship, to Hinduism to Christianity etc. South Africa definitely benefits you in that way. Especially interesting were the parts explaining how the Bible was composed, explaining the many different versions of it and why they exist, and the difficulty of translating from an ancient semitic language without vowels. Despite how ancient the text is, new discoveries continue to be made; the NSRV fifth edition is only five years old. Bible scholarship is a very interesting field, even - or even especially if - you’re not a believer. I really recommend Bart D. Ehrman’s work if you’re interested in the origins of the Bible and Christianity. The new testament is just a fraud; it was written by Greeks pretending to be Hebrew-speaking Israelites, trying to convert the Jews to their new religion. Some of the philosophy seems to be inspired by Plato, to the point some lines are copied word for word.
