AND GOD SAID: How Translations Conceal the Bible's Original Meaning
Sunday, March 7 at 4 p.m.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                A linguistics and translation expert, Dr. Joel Hoffman is consumed with proper translations of the Bible and other historical religious text.  AND GOD SAID is an accessible explanation of what the Bible originally meant before poor translation masked the meaning of the text.  It is a fun and academically responsible look at the numerous and severe translation mistakes that have led to misunderstandings of the most vital parts of the Bible.  Hoffman has held faculty appointments at Brandeis University and at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.  He lives in New York.   

We invite you to meet Dr. Hoffman in the St. Mark's library and hear selections and thoughts from AND GOD SAID.  Copies are available in the Lion's Den.
