Publisher Description
Richard Lattimore, among the most distinguished translators of the Greek classics, concluded late in his life one of his most ambitious projects - a complete translation of the New Testament. This New Testament is itself a classic of another kind - the words of the gospel and the apostles presented for the modern reader in fresh English by a writer without pretensions as a biblical scholar, who was an authority on the Greek language in which these texts have come down to us.
Customer Reviews
Fresh, insightful
Greek, like English, is a language that has multidimensional words with many meanings. Sometimes Mr. Lattimore translates words or passages slightly differently than the KJV to reveal a different side of the diamond. The modern language translation also serves to evict me from my engraved memory of famous passages to reconsider them at face value. Worth many readings.
