Essay Assignment
Select one episode or a series of passages from The Harper Collins Study Bible (NRSV) that ONLY from Hebrew Bible (Old Testatement: e.g Genesis, Leviticus, Song of Songs) and compare its English translation to what is found in another Bible with a significantly different translation.
In deciding which episode or passages to use for the assignment, focus on those that are most likely to appeal to non-religious readers of the Bible (narratives, descriptions, etc.). Do not choose passages which are exclusively theological in nature.
If you don't have an additional translation of your own, The Bible Gateway web site (www.biblegateway.com)has a searchable database with approximately 20 additional English translations.
Children's Bibles are acceptable also for this assignment.
