Does anyone really understand the Bible? What are the problems of
translation in general, and translating the Bible in particular?
Are there any good Bible translations? Has the Church
misrepresented and misused its scriptures? How Christian is
Christianity? What is a Christian? Are scriptures dangerous? In
this no-holds-barred investigation of how Christianity uses its
sources, the author invites you to take a new look at the Bible.
You may just find that everything you thought you knew about the
Bible is wrong. Whether you are familiar with the Bible or have
given up on it, a fresh look may reveal another, different Bible.
The author is a philologist who wrote "First Burn Your Bible" in
the belief that the questions above -- neglected by other writers
-- are more important than ever in a pluralistic society ...and he
does not advocate that you burn your Bible, although the book may
convince you that it is time to buy a Bible you can actually
understand.
This manual offers the first comprehensive description of the
performance practice of the central Javanese gamelan. Aimed mainly
at the many gamelan players in the West, it will also appeal to
composers and music lovers wanting an extended account of one of
the world's major musical cultures, and to teachers interested in
new resources for MUSIC in schools. The book provides detailed
information on the parts played by the various instruments of the
gamelan, as well as on the principles on which the music is based.
It also sketches the cultural background to musical performance in
Java. Numerous illustrations and helpful tips for beginners are
included, but also pointers to where more advanced students can
find additional material. Owners of the book have access to further
content via the associated website.
