			<content:encoded><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I received a copy of &#8220;A Literary Bible,&#8221; an original translation by Bible scholar David Rosenberg.

	Every few days, someone walking past my desk will see the fat book and say something along the lines of &#8220;Isn&#8217;t the regular, old Bible literary?&#8221;
