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. The Bible is a testament to the emotions of the human soul. The yearning of spiritual love reaches its finest expression of eroticism in Song of Songs, which unites the innocence of flesh with the freshness of idealistic youth.
