This innovative translation of the New Testament opens the closed doors of preconception and allows the reader to view these important Greek writings in an entirely different light. Based on a radical and startling premise, The Unvarnished New Testament asks, "Why not present the New Testament simply as it appears in the original Greek?"
Most translations of the New Testament are made by committees; they interpret the original text through theological doctrines and dogmas which arose centuries after the books were written. In this translation, however, Andy Gaus presents the New Testament as it would have appeared to someone reading the original, unvarnished Greek — as though 2,000 years of Christian history had not occurred. The fresh approach taken by this gifted translator strips away the thick layers of conventional and 'Biblical' language which often clouds the meaning of the original words. The approach is simple and direct, portraying an ageless beauty which no earlier translation has captured. Reading The Unvarnished New Testament makes most people ask, "Why has no one done this before?"
Unlike other versions of the New Testament, this edition is designed to be easily read. Gone are the double columns, small type, and verse numbers common to other editions. By eliminating these obstacles, the reader can encounter the stunning directness of the words themselves.
"The books read wonderfully smoothly since there is no attempt at maintaining any semblance of formal translation. At the same time preserving the mysticism, philosophy and theology of the underlying Greek better than any bible I know of. He accomplishes exactly what dynamic translation aims for."— Church Discipline, "10 Really Good Bibles You May Not Know About"
"What Andy Gaus has achieved (and brilliantly achieved) in his new Translation is to present the ideas, words and context of the various books of the New Testament as they would have been perceived by a majority of educated Greek readers in the third and fourth centuries."—John Howard Reid
