Genesis: New Translation of the Classic Bible Stories, A

Genesis: New Translation of the Classic Bible Stories, A - Stephen Mitchell I'm a Mitchell fan. I think his translation of the Tao Te Ching is the definitive modern version. His scholarly approach is tempered with a poet's sensibility, and the way he writes speaks to me. His reworking of the Genesis mythos was a fascinating read. He teases apart the contributions of the various authors of the book, and shows the stories entire. I've got to say that even Mitchell can't redeem the begats for me- those are still deadly boring.
