Instant Bible goes on sale in Britain
How many ages and generations have brooded and wept and
agonized over this book! Walt Whitman wrote,entrupted by
the ?divine and primal poetic structure?of the
Bible.
Weep he might have,hd he come acroos the 100-
Minute bible,which boils down that primal poeticstruture to
50 prosaic pages intended to be read in two minutes
apiece,consider its rendering of one of the most poignant
verses of the New Testament,John 11:35,the scene where
Jesus travels to the home of Lazarus?s sister for not being
there to save him for death. Ion the king James version
and most other translations,the verse reads, ?jesus wept.?
In ?The 100-minute Bible,? a passive voice describes Jesus
as being ?deeply moved.?
And what to make of the SMS
Bible,a text-message versin by the Bible
SocietyinAustralia,which translates Genesis 1:1 thus:?In
new 100-minute and digital Bibles join a long list of
condensed versions,each drawing doubters who questin the
wisdom,if not the audacity,of editing God.
Why does
man persist,and can any good come of it? ?Some people
objected to the very concept of messing around with
the ?sacred text,? as they called it,?said Leonard Budd,the
publisher of the 100-Minute Bible,which has sold more than
40,000 copies since it went ons sale in UK a littlemore
than month ago,supplanting The Tibetan Book o the Dead and
the Kama Sutra on the lists of religion themed best
sellers. ?If the man in the street is not reading the
Bible,? budd continued, ?you have to ask,isn?t it better
to read a short versin than not to read the long version??
Perhaps not, said Michael romartie,Vice-President at the
Ethics and Public Policy Centre in Washington. ?In this
internet age,where everybody is in a hurry,the one thing
with is reaeing the Bible,? Cromartie said. ?You don?t
speed-rate the word of God.?
Skeptical reactins have
greeted nearly evey new translation or formatting of the
Bible. The men who first translated the Hebrew of the Old
Testament and the Greek of the New Testanent into other
languages were challenged over their right to do so.
Modern efforts right to do so. Modern efforts like The
Living Bible and The Reader?
S Digest Bible did not
escape such rectins.
