Review: ‘The New Testament: A Translation,’ by David Bentley Hart - The Atlantic

' In Hart we can hear more clearly both the leper’s challenge—heal me!—and the quickness and intimacy of Jesus’s response. '

'The surprising aim, Hart tells us in his introduction, was to be as bare-bones and—where appropriate—unsqueamishly prosaic as he can. '

'In the beginning was the Word, says the Gospel according to John—a lovely statement of the case, as it’s always seemed to me. '

'The New Testament, after all, is not a store of ancient wonders like the Hebrew Bible. '

'A pre-temporal syllable swelling to utterance in the mouth of the universe, spoken once and heard forever: God’s power chord, if you like. '
