The Analytical-Literal Translation of the Old Testament (Septuagint): Volume I: The Torah (ALT) is a companion to the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament. Both are translated by Gary F. Zeolla (www.Zeolla.org). The ALT: Old Testament is available in five volumes.Most Old Testaments are based on the Hebrew text. But this Old Testament (OT) is based on the Greek Septuagint (LXX). The LXX is a third century B.C. Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. The name and abbreviation comes from the tradition that 70 (or 72) Jewish scholars worked on its translation, six from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.The importance of the LXX is that it was THE Bible of the early Church.The purpose of the ALT is to provide a translation of the Greek Septuagint that will enable the reader to come as close to the Greek text as possible without having to be proficient in Greek.

Hildegard of Bingen (1098 '1179) describes the virtue of Fortitude teaching the other virtues in the fire of the Holy Spirit. Like Fortitude, Hildegard was enkindled by the Holy Spirit and edified many with her teaching. Hildegard of Bingen's Homilies on the Gospels are here translated for the first time from Latin into English. Hildegard's sisters recorded and preserved her informal preaching in this collection of homilies on twenty-seven gospel pericopes. As teacher and superior to her sisters, Hildegard probably spoke to them in the chapter house, with the scriptural text either before her or recited from memory, according to Benedictine liturgical practice. The Homilies on the Gospels prove essential for comprehending the coherent theological Vision that Hildegard constructs throughout her works, including the themes of salvation history, the drama of the individual soul, the struggle of virtues against vices, and the life-giving and animating force of greenness (uiriditas). Moreover, the Homilies on the Gospels establish Hildegard as the only known female systematic exegete of the Middle Ages.

The Greek Life of Adam and Eve is a brooding epic that explores experiences of disease, death, and hope through a riveting reinvention of the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Seth. Now, for the first time, Jack Levison offers the English-speaking world its first comprehensive commentary on this saga. The introduction offers analyses, sweeping in scope and rich in detail, for which no comparable discussions exist in any language. Chapter one details literary character—narrative flow, characters, and reconstructions of literary growth. With consummate clarity, chapter two brings order to the scholarly chaos surrounding Greek manuscripts, Greek text forms, versions (Latin, Armenian, Georgian, Slavonic), and the history of research. Chapter three investigates provenance: external references to the Greek Life and evidence for either a Jewish or Christian origin; Levison demonstrates that arguments for either a Jewish or Christian provenance cannot bear the weight scholars have laid on them. The commentary is equally comprehensive, with far-reaching discussions of the Greek illuminated by the foreground of Jewish scripture and the milieu of ancient Greek and Hebrew literature. With a fresh translation and bibliography.

To get famous, and be at peace with oneself. Genesis 1,2,3, in the Book of Genesis; if you follow the Commandment, and know what God means. And with Jesus Christs body and blood on the wooden cross. Is almost a guarantee to be famous. I mean almost everybody wants to be famous. It was suppose to be a great fun book. About getting famous and Hollywood, Los Angeles, Calif. and all that. I am a martial artist; but the book kinda got scary. But all in all, it turned out, I guess alright. But life, you have to admit is scary. What you need is a Holy Bible (copyright before1963 or older) and remember Commandment 1, which is 13. This book is dedicated to Bruce Lee and Jesus Christ. Both I love and cherish. Also to dedicated Our Lady of the Roses, Mary help of Mothers Shrine; Bayside, New York. I use to pray to Saint Michael and Saint Jude. Both of them showed me and instructed me to Commandment 1 which is 13. They would like point to the versus in my dreams. 20 years is a long time to finish a book; editing and writing. I hope this book will show you some insight, of your life and your well being. Thank You. To the Academy Awards, the Emmys, the Grammys, the Oscars, Bruce Lee. To Jesus Christs body and blood on the wooden cross. Jesus Christ, the blessing and the curse.
