International Interfaith Award for Barclay Newman, who "pored over the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic words that make up the Bible in an effort to create a readable English translation that is "in keeping with the spirit of the author.""
I groaned, moaned and winced when the Catholic Church embarked upon modernising the liturgy in the local languages but, hey, even religions are self-reflexive in modernity. I hope to get hold of Dr. Newman's œuvre to see if the good book has been bettered.
