JAROSLAV PELIKAN

The Bible is among the worlds most influential and important books - and the most controversial. It affects not just religious beliefs but every aspect of our culture, including the very language we speak. But how did it become the book we know it to be? In this superbly written history, Jaroslav Pelikan charts its evolution from oral tales via Hebrew texts, Greek, and Latin translations, to its many different forms today, offering a new insight into the history of the last three thousand years. This is an enduring work of scholarship and a fascinating read.

Un fascinante estudio sobre la evolución de la Biblia, desde su primera encarnación como tradición oral hasta su existencia moderna en diferentes configuraciones, lenguas y traducciones para los públicos mas variados. Pelikan es la maxima autoridad mundial en la materia, reconocido tanto por judios como cristianos, y en quien se basa Harold Bloom.
