New Testament - Lattimore Translation

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.

A wonderful reader's edition of the New Testament, great for comparing word translations with the Revised Standard Version, the New American Bible Revised Edition, and the classic Douay-Rheims Catholic editions.
