The New Covenant

Commonly Called The New Testament: The Four Gospels And Apocalypse

TRANSLATED BY WILLIS BARNSTONE

Brief Description:
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.
