This new translation of the Gospels offers a definitive edition of these foundational texts, crafted by respected translator Sarah Ruden. For centuries, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have shaped Christianity and influenced the modern Western world. They present the life and ministry of Jesus Christ as four distinct narratives, each with complex origins and inherent contradictions. Ruden’s translation emphasizes the original Greek, inviting readers to engage with the Gospels on their own terms. With precision and sensitivity, it provides an accessible version of the text, enriched by illuminating footnotes and a discursive glossary that clarify word choices and phrasings. The Gospels are presented in their original context, reflecting contemporary languages, cultures, and the unique drama and humor of their time, free from later interpretations. This translation encourages a fresh understanding of these four evangelists and highlights the ancient world as a foundation for modern thought. It serves as a welcoming platform for diverse readers, fostering debate, discussion, and inspiration for years to come.
