least eight translations of the book into Hebrew were made between 1959 and 1990. Some of these versions have involved wholesale restructuring of the narrative, including changes to character, dropping of Christian themes, and plot.<ref>Israeli academic Nitsa Ben-Ari discusses the complex socio-political context of these translations and changes.
