From the DJ flap: This expanded translation of the Gospels provides today's reader of the New Testament with the only translation which gives the full English equivalent of the Greek text in modern speech. It brings the reader into close touch with the original language of the Gospels, and reveals to him the freshness and vigor of the Greek text. And thus a wealth of meaning not available to those who cannot read Greek is his to enjoy and to use. As everyone knows, the language of the Greek New Testament is quite different from the beautifully polished and poetic diction of the Authorized Version of 1611. The original language of the Gospels is the language of the man in the street, the ordinary language used for trade and daily affairs, not the language of scholars and writers. This expanded translation gives the full force of the original Greek, and enables the English reader to understand better the spirit of the times in which the Gospels were written, to breathe the atmosphere of the original Gospel narratives and to see in full view the vivid portraits of the Christ which the original language reveals. There are further advantages in this expanded translation for the English reader: - It follows the Greek order of words in the sentence, and places the emphases where they belong, highlighting the abruptness of exclamations and the severity of rebukes. - It carefully distinguishes between synonyms that are often rendered, in other translations, by the same English word. - It does full justice to the action found in the Greek verb tenses. - It brings out emphases and contrasts indicated by the presence or absence of Greek pronouns, articles, and hypothetical construc-tions. - It arranges the material into paragraphs, and thus helps the reader to grasp the logical units of thought. In his many years of work on The Gospels Dr. Wuest has checked and re-checked every word and phrase for accuracy and clarity of wording to give the reader the full benefit of the exact meaning and intent of the Gospel writers. Dr. Wuest is a firm believer in the claim of the Bible to verbal inspi-ration, and as he himself states in the Preface, 'The translator who believes this claim is anchored to each Greek word and its full content of meaning as he proceeds with his work.' A complete, consecutive reading of this expanded translation is both a revelation and a delight; a comparing of passages with standard translations of the Bible gives the general reader, the teacher, and the preacher an explanatory commentary of the highest quality.
