Title: Lattimore translation: New Testament
Review: This is a New Testament Bible, translated into contemporaty English, but with a sincere effort to preserve the full sense and voice of the original. I think he has been hugely successful. Lattimore hs not done anything cute. He has not sought to change the idiom to capture some current idiom. He has given a straightforward translation in a higly readable form and format. The pages are identified by chapter and verse, but the many verses on a single page are not separately identified. There are no footnotes or references cited. The book is for reasing and not for background text for sermons.
