Overview
The five books in the series A Twenty-First-Century Bible recognise that the Bible is not the easiest book to read. As a consequence, they use the complete text of the Bible and rearrange the narrative into historical order, with two or more versions of the same story merged together. They deal with some of the anomalies in the original text and reinstate cultural aspects which have been lost in modern translations. The text is presented in two types: a translation of the original languages in normal print; and additions-to help the flow of the narrative and to enlighten the reader to some of the cultural background and meaning-in italics. The second volume Establishing the Kingdom takes the reader from the Judges to King Solomon. The psalms 'of David' (where they can be historically identified), with the Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes, have been included in the Narrative section of the book, while the other psalms of the period and the Proverbs of Solomon have been arranged at the back in thematic order.
