Rereading the Biblical Text: Searching for Meaning and Understanding deals with problems scholars face in translating Hebrew words and sentences into contemporary English. Modern readers have many choices when selecting a translation of the Bible for personal use. Translators seek to convey to today's readers the message the biblical writers tried to communicate to their original readers. At times, however, what the original authors tried to convey to their audience was not clear. Claude Mariottini has selected several difficult passages from the Old Testament and compared how different translations have dealt with these difficult texts. Pastors, seminary students, and serious students of the Bible will be challenged to reread the biblical text and understand the message of the biblical writers in a new perspective. Claude F. Mariottini is Professor of Old Testament at Northern Baptist Seminary. He is the author of Paso a Paso por el Antiguo Testamento, ""1 and 2 Chronicles,"" in the Mercer Commentary on the Bible, ""Deuteronomio,"" in the Comentario Biblico Mundo Hispano, Perspectives on the Old Testament and Hebrew, and ""1 and 2 Kings,"" in The New Interpreter's Study Bible. Mariottini has published more than 200 articles and book reviews in English, Spanish, and Russian.
