For the first time since the King James Version in 1611, Willis Barnstone has given us an amazing literary and historical version of the New Testament. Barnstone preserves the original song of the Bible, rendering a large part in poetry and the epic Revelation in incantatory blank verse. This monumental translation is the first to restore the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew names (Markos for Mark, Yeshua for Jesus), thereby revealing the Greco-Jewish identity of biblical people and places. Citing historical and biblical scholarship, he changes the sequence of texts and adds three seminal Gnostic gospels. Each book has elegant introductions and is thoroughly annotated. With its superlative writing and lyrical wisdom, The Restored New Testament is a magnificent biblical translation for our age.

Scraping away many centuries of stylistic fussiness & supersessionist distortion, he gives us a set of Gospel narratives that are bold & direct in their simplicity & that show how steeped the first Christina were in the Jewish world from which they derived." -Robert Alter. "Willis Barnstone's "The Restored New Testament" is both an eloquent, fresh translation of the Four Gospels & of Revelation, & also a superb act of restoration, in whIch these Christian scriptures are returned to their Judaic origins & context. The introductory material is wise & poignant, & makes an authentic contribution to the common reader's understanding of the gospels." -Harold Bloom * ABOUT THE AUTHOR-TRANSLATOR: WILLIS BARNSTONE, professor, poet, & scholar, is the author of 80 volumes, including "The Restored New Testament", "The Gnostic Bible", "The Poems of Jesus Christ", "The Poetics of Translation", & "Mexico in My Heart: New and Selected Poems".
