By the time Joseph Chaim Brenner arrived in London (where Out of the Depths was written) in 1904, his literary reputation was already established by a volume of short stories and a previous novel, In Winter. Born in Russia in 1881, Brenner at the age of twenty-four had fled the disorders of the Russian Empire for the mean peace of London's East End. Out of the Depths is concerned with a group of Russian immigrants in London who work for a Jewish daily newspaper. They are caught up in a conflict with the owner when he seeks to introduce a typesetting machine into the newspaper shop. Following an unsuccessful strike, the impoverished workers decline into a general collective misery that is relieved only by the strength and honesty of the central character. The language of Out of the Depths has a remarkably modern energy. Brenner anticipates literary techniques that came into wide use only later. The employment of stream of consciousness, shifting perspectives, and emotive presentation and the use of vocabulary from the Yiddish, Russian, German, and English languages have a startling impact, a texture that Dr. Patterson faithfully captures while conforming to the demands of English idiom. Employing an ancient language in a modern idiomatic style, this little-known work by a writer of remarkable honesty gives intense expression to the social upheavals of the time and to the profound moral questioning that for some was almost a consequence of living in the first years of this century. David Patterson's translation of Out of the Depths received the Webber Prize for translation in 1989.

Introduced by Thabiti Anyabwile. If you are looking for understanding on repentance then turn to one of the classic passages in the Old Testament, Psalm 51. This Psalm takes us back in the life of David to when he committed adultery with Uriah's wife, Bathsheba. This sordid story is the backdrop to a moving study that gives readers a fuller understanding of the vital importance of repentance for Christians and non-Christian. Out of the Depths details the sinner's confession, helplessness and a central need. There is good news as Lloyd Jones shows that there is also deliverance and new life. This book, co-published with Bryntirion Press, will be a help to you if you are an earnest seeker after God who wants to take that first step on the road to salvation, and for the troubled Christian desiring to once again find the path to a restored relationship with God., 2011<
