Good News!

This is a new translation of the Gospels from Greek into conversational English. In this translation, the four Gospels are blended into a single account so that the reader can get the whole picture of Jesus' life and teachings as we know it from the Bible. Words that are common in most English translations but that no longer carry the real meaning of the original writers have been replaced with words or phrases that carry the original meaning. Difficult names have been moved into the footnotes or the Glossary. Nearly half of the book is extensive Glossary articles to provide the reader with background information, helping the reader understand the characters and events as they would have been understood by the first readers. Charlie Webster has researched the Gospels and their backgrounds extensively. What you get may help with theological studies, but it's not about deep theological investigations, it's about getting to know who Jesus really is and what he really taught in his earthly ministry. And it's about making that information easily available to anybody from a teenager to a centenarian.
