For the first time since the King Jjames Version in 1611. Willis Barnstone has given us an amazing literary and historical verrsion of the New Testament, Barnstone preserves the original song of the Bible, rendering a large part in poetry and the epic Revelation in incantatory blank verse.This monumental tranlation is the first to restore the original Greek Aramaic, and the Hebrew names[Markos for Mark, Yeshua for Jesus], thereby revealing the Greco-Jewish indentity of biblical people and places. Citing historical and biblical people and places, citing historical and biblical scolarship, he changes the sequence of texts and adds three seminal Gnostic gospels.Each Book has elegantintroductions and is thoroughly annotated.Withits superlative writing and lyrical wisdom, the Restored New Testament is a magnificant biblical translation for our Ages.
