My philosophy in doing the Mirror Bible is reflected in the following example:
I do not read music, but have often witnessed our son, Stefan, approach a new piece on the piano.
His eyes see so much more than mere marks scribbled on a page;
he hears the music.
His trained mind engages even the subtleties and the nuances of the original composition, and is able to repeat the authentic sound,
knowing that the destiny of the music would never be reduced to the page;
but is always in the next moment,
where the same intended beauty is heard
and repeated again
The best translation would always be the incarnation
I so value the enormity of the revelation of the incarnation.
Yet, before flesh, the Word was προς
face to face with God
And fragile text
scribbled thru the ages in memoirs of stone, parchment and papyrus pages -
carrying eternity in thought
and continues to translate faith
to faith
Now we have the same spirit of faith as he encountered when he wrote...
I believe
and so I speak
Conversation ignites
Did not our hearts burn within our being when He spoke familiar text of ancient times, in the voices of Moses and the prophets and David and Abraham,
who saw his day
and announced its dawn in our hearts
The mystery that was hidden for ages and generations
is now revealed
In dealing daily with ancient text,
rediscovering thoughts buried in time, I am often overwhelmed and awed at the magnificence of eternity captured in little time capsules,
opening vistas of beauty beyond our imagination- face to face with the same face to faceness of the Logos
and God
and us - conceived in their dream
And irresistibly intrigued by the invitation to come and drink -
to taste and see -
from the source -
and to hear a saint reminiscing and reminding himself of the utterance of another earth dweller-brother, David, who wrote a song 1000 years ago,
Return to your rest, oh my soul
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you
I believe and so I speak
And with fresh wounds bleeding from the many angry blows he was dealt with, Paul echoes,
We have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, 'I believe and so I speak ' We too believe and so we speak
Let's celebrate the sameness of Jesus
yesterday - yes, as far as history and beyond time can go -
and today This very finite, fragile moment -
plus, the infinite future
Inexhaustible, beyond boundaries and the confines of space and time
The Didache Bible presents extensive commentaries, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, for each of the books of the Holy Bible. It also includes numerous apologetical inserts to assist the reader in understanding the Church's teachings on current issues.
It uses the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition translation of the complete text of Sacred Scriptures, Old and New Testaments. This Bible version is considered by many Catholic leaders and authors, including Peter Kreeft and Scott Hahn, as the most beautiful English translation of the Bible today.
The Didache Bible is a valuable resource for students and those participating in Scripture studies. Ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and intended to be accessible by all Catholics in its level of scriptural scholarship.
