The Gospels: A New Translation by Sarah Ruden

The Gospels: A New Translation presents Sarah Ruden’s English rendering of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Working from Greek, she attends to the language and cultural setting of each Gospel while allowing their distinct voices and differences to emerge.

Published by Modern Library, this is a translation of the four canonical Gospel texts, not a new biography of Jesus written by Ruden. It offers a fresh reading for readers interested in Scripture, language and the ancient world.
