The Authentic New Testament

Rich insight into the spiritual and historical meaning of the New Testament distinguishes this brilliant new translation, edited by an eminent Jewish scholar. Hugh J. Schonfield, who worked for thirty years on his modern version of the original Greek text, has created a vivid and readable translation that captures the character, mood and style of each individual author. Dr. Schonfield has provided a comprehensive introduction covering the historical and geographical background as well as helpful notes on social and religious customs. Included too, for reference use, are maps, illustrations and an index of persons and places. This incisive translation offers the modern reader a clear understanding of the original meaning of the New Testament and a dramatic picture of Biblical times.
