Are You Lost in Translation? Reading Genesis in a New Light

In this extended interview with David LeBlanc (‪@davidleblanc1811‬ ) I talk about my new translation of the book of Genesis and how it changes so many assumptions people make about this culturally foundational book. For example, Genesis 1:1 is NOT about the Creation of the universe, but the "ordering" of planet earth. You can order the Book of Genesis here--at a reduced sale price::

“Finally, a truly transparent translation! I have taught biblical texts for almost 25 years and have longed for a translation that didn't pull any punches when it came to the difficult passages, or that didn't try to "spin" the meaning of the text in the interests of later theology and doctrine (whether Jewish or Christian). Tabor's translation of Genesis renders the Hebrew not just with unparalleled accuracy and fidelity to the text, it also offers readers a sense of the unfamiliar elegance and strange power of the original. Beautifully conceived and executed, Tabor's translation is the result of a lifetime of critical learning and scholarly acumen. It is also a courageous undertaking. I have no doubt that it will quickly become the standard.”
