Excerpt from Fresh Voyages: On Unfrequented Waters
Rabindra N ath tagore has aptly expressed my feelings when the pen did not fall from my hand (see Veil, p. 158) and new country invited my little ship to explore its wonders. I know that my opponents will think this an illusion, but years of sedulous quest of discoveries cannot have been spent on self-deceit, and my foes may by, this time be beginning to ask whether they have not carried their Opposition to undoubted originality much too far. The Indian poet gives thanks in 'new melodies' for not having been reduced 'to take shelter in silent obscurity.' There are, I also know, those who think it kind ness to exhort me to Silence. But they have hardly justified their exhortation to me by them selves entering ou new tracks; the last ten years have not, so far as I am aware, produced a single brilliantly original work on the text and contents of the Old Testament emanating from the professional champions of so-called sobriety and moderation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sets sail on new literary journeys through lesser-known waters of the Old and New Testaments, boldly proposing fresh readings of familiar texts and introducing novel angles to established ideas. The author questions long-held assumptions about some of the Old Testament's most enigmatic books and their central characters, such as the prophet Haggai and the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. The book also explores the hidden N. Arabian heritage of many Old Testament figures. The New Testament is also examined with fresh eyes, with the author re-evaluating textual problems in the Book of John and shedding light on the Hellenistic influences that shaped the Gospels. Challenging conventional beliefs and revealing startling links between seemingly different texts, this book offers a fresh and eye-opening exploration that pushes the boundaries of biblical understanding.
