Aviya Kushner was raised in a Hebrew-speaking family, reading the Bible in the initial Hebrew and debating its interpretation over the dinner table. She knew a lot of it by center - and was therefore surprised when, whilst getting her MFA at the School of Iowa, she got the novelist Marilynne Robinson's class on the Old Testament and learned she barely accepted the text she thought she understood so well. Kushner started discussing the experience with Robinson, who became a mentor, and her involvement in the differences between your ancient language and the present day one gradually became an obsession. In such a eye-opening chronicle, Kushner says the storyline of her exciting romance to the Bible and on the way illustrates how the differences in translation impact our understanding of our culture's most significant written work.
