The Books of Moses is the first of five volumes that will comprise The Anderson Revisionist Bible. A work in progress, it is based upon existing translations. Rendered into contemporary language and purged of antiquated words, outmoded expressions, and religious jargon, it aspires to accurately convey the meaning of the original biblical texts, while presenting a highly readable and understandable narrative. Targeted to a general, popular audience, especially skeptics and the non-religious, it deals with the Bible, the most important book ever written, not as hallowed Scripture, but as an ancient text meriting objective analysis both as an historical account and as an articulation of religious creed. It is richly annotated with informative material, critical assessment, and speculative commentary: it essays to answer the questions the average reader would ask and address the issues the layman might wonder about.

WINNER OF THE 2022 PULITZER PRIZE "A compelling and important history that this nation desperately needs to hear." -Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative Chasing Me to My Grave presents the late artist Winfred Rembert's breathtaking body of work alongside his story, as told to Tufts Philosopher Erin I. Kelly. Rembert grew up in a family of Georgia field laborers, joined the Civil Rights Movement as a teenager, survived a near-lynching at the hands of law enforcement, and spent seven years on chain gangs. There he learned the leather tooling skills that became the bedrock of his autobiographical paintings. Years later, encouraged by his wife, Patsy, Rembert brought his past to vibrant life in scenes of joy and terror, from the promise of southern Black commerce to the brutality of chain gang labor. Vivid, confrontational, revelatory, and complex, Chasing Me to My Grave is a searing memoir in prose and painted leather that celebrates Black life and summons readers to confront painful and urgent realities at the heart of American society.
