The New Covenant

Commonly Called The New Testament: The Four Gospels And Apocalypse

TRANSLATED BY WILLIS BARNSTONE
In this new translation of the Four Gospels and Revelation (Apocalypse), poet, translator, and scholar Willis Barnstone returns the bedrock of Christianity to its origins as an outgrowth of Judaism. In place of the Greek names that we are accustomed to, he restores probable Hebrew or Aramaic names to New Testament figures. And in translating Apocalypse in blank verse, he reveals it as the great epic poem of the New Testament. Barnstone places the Christian Bible in new perspective, transporting us back to the pre-Hellenic world and the Jewish tradition from which the New Covenant emerged.

The Other Bible (734)

EDITED BY WILLIS BARNSTONE
Gathered here for the first time in one comprehensive volume are excerpted ancient holy texts from Judeo-Christian traditions that were excluded from the official canon of the Old and New Testaments. The Other Bible is a unique sourcebook of essential selections from Jewish Psudepigrapha, early Kabbalah, Haggadah, Midrash, Christian Apocrypha, and Gnostic scriptures. Huge great doorstop of a book, fair condition but a bit frayed round the edges.
