if you do check them out, let me know or post up what you think about Sri Anandamayi Ma & Martin Luther.
i had bought a copy of Millar Burrows Dead Sea Scroll
which i began today The War of the Sons of the Light & Sons of the Dark translations actually. this interpretation i have was published originally in the 50's, and reprinted with updates as more Scrolls were discovered. it has pics of maps and terrain, the caves etc where they were discovered.
"these things i now from thy own understanding
for thou hast uncovered my ear for marvelous mysteries."
"what shall i say without being instructed
or declare without being observed?"
DeadSeaScroll(
thanksgiving psalm)
Psalms I (i 21-30)
so more of a formulated list:
The BiBle - King James Version
Apocrypha / King James - Manuel Komroff
Dead Sea Scroll - Millar Burrows (viking)
Epic Of Gilgamesh - Andrew George (penguin classics)
Poems Of Heaven And Hell From Ancient Mesopotamia - NK Sandars (penguin classics)
the translation and cometary on Inannas descent is very good in here. very compact and generalizes Sumerian UnderWorld and Babylon very nicely. also has the Prayer To The Gods Of The Night.
Ovids Metamorphosis - Alex Mandelbaum
and Martin Luthers 96 points as to why the Bible is proof of Gods word, and why the Bible itself is more important then the actual religion...
