Delitzsch and Salkinson were the Coke and Pepsi of Hebrew New Testaments. In this first conversation about the Salkinson-Ginsburg version we'll look at the human side of Isaac Salkinson - his childhood pain as an orphan and wandering years in Eastern Europe, education and missionary work in Great Britain, and final flourishing in Vienna. We'll also listen in to several interactions with the Jewish Chronicle, Chief Karaite Rabbi, and local Viennese that reveal Salkinson's sensitive heart and poetic style and, on a broader scale, echo the emerging voice of nineteenth-century Hebrew Christianity.
