The purpose of The People’s Bible is, in essence, to make it readable. In these interpretive translations, the variety and scope of the Bible comes to life, proving that it can give pleasure even to non-believing lovers of great literature. As Moses gave the Law to the Israelites, it was Paul who gave the Mystery of the Cross to the world. He created a new religion that was to inherit the empire of pagan Rome and still dominates Western culture today. In this translation of Paul’s letters, his revolutionary message of mystical faith is brought to life.
