Synopsis

The Holy Bible is one of, if not the, most significant book ever written, believed by millions to be the divine Word of God, and responsible for so much of the shape of the moral, political and religious landscape of the modern world. It claims to speak directly and personally to all of us today. Yet recent statistics suggest less than 10% of Christians have read the entire Bible all the way through. DLT Books of the Bible are designed to reignite a passion for reading the Bible. A selection of Christian writers and leaders have each been invited to choose a book (or selection of books), and introduce it anew for a modern audience. What most excites them about this book of the Bible? What should we look for as we read it today, two thousand years (or more) since it was written? In this volume, popular Celtic spirituality writer David Adam introduces the Book of Psalms, and explains how the poetry and songs therein have helped him express his faith throughout his life. Each volume in this essential new series contains the text of the selected book, from the New Jerusalem Bible, one of the most respected and readable modern English translations. Over time, this will build up into an outstanding collection of books a contemporary perspective on what the Bible means to us today, and a wonderful way to rediscover the joy of Bible reading. Other books in the initial launch range are: Stephen Cottrell on Genesis, Sr Joan Chittister on Ruth and Judith and Robert Beckford on Revelation.
