Download or read book Anatomical Idiom and Emotional Expression written by Angela Thomas and published by Sheffield Phoenix Press Limited. This book was released on 2014 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hebrew Bible abounds in imagery linking feelings and emotions with various parts of the body. These vividly painted word pictures capture the imagination, and the reader can identify physically as well as emotionally with what is being expressed. But this colourful imagery, with its forthright and earthy language, is rather less apparent in modern English translations. Such substitutions are not just common in English translations, but are also found in the first authorized translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint. Can the changes to body imagery found in English translations be explained as part of a process that began with the Greek text, which often gave a more muted picture than the Hebrew original? This study explores these questions by making a detailed comparative analysis of anatomical idioms (body imagery) associated with the emotions of distress, fear, anger and gladness in the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint. Differences are identified through literal translation into English from both Hebrew and Greek and the results are categorized, discussed and analysed, and detailed statistical information is presented. The data offer a rich resource for further research, and the analysis provides fascinating insights into the minds of the Greek translators and findings that are surprisingly complex.

Download or read book Rebooting the Bible written by S. Douglas Woodward and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebooting the Bible tells the shocking story of a second-century rabbinic conspiracy altering the words of the Bible to thwart the massive conversion of Jews to the Christian Gospel. The alterations sought to obscure the Messianic prophecies - concealing the case they set forth that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah. In addition, this provocative book presents extensive evidence that this conspiracy cut out 1,600 years from biblical chronology, thereby compressing crucial events in Genesis (e.g., the Flood and the Tower of Babel) into a much-reduced timeframe harming the Bible's witness regarding the ancient history of the world. Its in-depth research identifies surprising yet substantiated dates for the birth of Abraham, the duration of the Egyptian enslavement, the timing of the Exodus, the Conquest of Canaan, the obscure period of the Judges, and the completion of Solomon's Temple. In so doing, Rebooting the Bible, identifies a much earlier timeline for these foundational events revealing the correct dates the untainted Bible reveals. The book explains how the Greek Old Testament was created in Alexandria, Egypt from 280 BC to 130 BC, and why it consistently provides a more authentic rendering of the original Hebrew Bible (the "autographs") than the Hebrew Bible of today. Because the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible) as well as the Protestant Bibles (e.g., the King James Bible, the New International Version, New American Standard Version, etc.) are based on the Masoretic Text behind the Hebrew Bible, the power of the original prophecies as presented in the Old Testament have been compromised. Rebooting the Bible makes the case for why the Protestant and Catholic Church must include readings from the Septuagint to rediscover the original wording of the Bible. Finally, Rebooting the Bible supports the position that Egyptology and Mesopotamian Archeology can be better reconciled with the biblical text of the Septuagint, overcoming typical objections to its truth, strengthening the case for the Christian faith, and establishing the inspiration of the Bible.
