Matthew & Mark: A Defamiliarizing Reading from Indigenous Middle Eastern Sources
Embark on an illuminating voyage of literary exploration that flips the script on conventional biblical scholarship. In a world saturated with overly-familiar interpretations of the gospels, Matthew & Mark: A Defamiliarizing Reading from Indigenous Middle Eastern Sources offers a groundbreaking perspective. This is not just a translation; it's an eye-opening poetic and aesthetic odyssey that will challenge your preconceptions, reignite your curiosity, and offer fresh insights into the gospels.
Driven by a profound commitment to decolonize the New Testament, and a desire for readers to reconnect with the wisdom and beauty of the often-overlooked native Middle Eastern cultures which stewarded these sacred texts for centuries, this bold re-rendering defies conventions and takes you on a transformative journey of discovery. Through the lens of the earliest complete versions in indigenous Middle Eastern languages, you'll rediscover the Gospels of Matthew and Mark in revolutionary ways that will compel you to reconsider everything you thought you knew.
Delve into the texts of Matthew and Mark presented in Aramaic, Coptic Egyptian, and a startlingly unconventional "foreignized" English translation based solely on native Middle Eastern manuscript traditions. Accompanied by comprehensive vocabularies of the two ancient languages, prepare for a literary journey that will rekindle wonder and forever change your perception of these ancient texts, inviting you to see the gospels anew with fresh eyes and an open heart.
