A review by lanceschaubert
The New Testament by David Bentley Hart

5.0

Read plenty to give a review (will finish sometime in 2021, likely): this is one of the most radical translations I've ever read and I've read quite a few. This version does for us something like what the Vulgate did for the original "vulgar" listeners — it shakes up our assumptions about what's what and gives, in some cases, a rather crass translation.

I found myself often laughing aloud at what I considered, until this translation, rather bland passages.
