Secret Unveiled

In this needed and highly anticipated new translation of the Theban plays of Sophocles, David Slavitt presents a fluid, accessible, and modern version for both newcomers to the plays and established admirers. Unpretentious and direct, Slavitt's translation preserves the innate verve and energy of the dramas, engaging the reader or audience member directly with Sophocles' great texts. Slavitt chooses to present the plays not in narrative sequence but in the order in which they were composed: Antigone, Oedipus Tyrannos, Oedipus at Colonus; he thereby underscores the fact that the story of Oedipus is one to which Sophocles returned over the course of his lifetime. This arrangement also lays bare the record of Sophocles' intellectual and artistic development. Renowned as a poet and translator, Slavitt has translated Ovid, Virgil, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Ausonius, Prudentius, Valerius Flaccus, and Bacchylides as well as works in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew. In this volume, he avoids personal intrusion on the texts and relies upon the theatrical machinery of the plays themselves. The result is a major contribution to the art of translation and a version of the Oedipus plays that will appeal enormously to readers, theatre directors, and actors.

Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 2:10–10 What do Daniel and Revelation really say? Could what had a beginning not have an end? Can we be saved from the destruction of this world? Evangelist Ferdinand Shimei attempts to answer these and many other questions in his new book, Secret of the Time of the End Unveiled. Evangelist Shimei takes the reader on an educational and insightful journey through the Bible, with a focus on the scriptures that inform God's creation about the coming of the end. He endeavors to use these passages to teach the reader how to avoid the ultimate fate of the world. From the beginning of creation to the final battle at Armageddon, travel through God's Word on a quest to see the Secret of the Time of the End Unveiled. Evangelist Shimei's new book...shall awaken the slumbering Christians and hasten the unbelieving hearts. —Ozioha V. Ekemam, Pastor, A.M E. Zion Church, Owerri, Nigeria
