흠정역성서와 영미문화-한 영어학자의 성서이야기

영어 사전에 없는 성서 표현의 속뜻을 예술, 문학, pop song 등에서 풀이하는 새로운 형식의 시도 - 흠정역성서의 영어 표현과 영미문화를 동시에 만나다 각종 도판과 자료로 음미하는 110가지 성서이야기의 정수 영미문화의 뿌리로서 성서를 다시 읽는 인문서가 출간된다. 한국 영어학을 정립시킨 대표적 영어학자 박영배 교수가 흠정역성서(The Bible: Authorized King James Version 1611) 신구약에서 각각 55개의 주요한 표현을 뽑아 다채로운 예시, 일화와 사진들로 성서이야기를 들려준다. 흠정역성서는 영국 르네상스 말기에 활동한 셰익스피어(1564-1616)의 영향을 받았으며 현대 영역성서를 포함한 현대영어의 훌륭한 원천이 되었다. 이 성서는 시적이고 다양한 색채를 지닌 어휘와 어순을 고려하지 않은 장엄한 표현 기법으로 가득 차 있어서, 라임에서 오는 율동감과 함께 고급 영미문화에서 느끼는 감흥이 책 전체를 감싼다.
