description: Richmond Lattimore, among the most distinguished translators of the Greek classics, concluded late in his life one of his most ambitious projects--a complete translation of the New Testament. This New Testament's itself a classic of another kind--the words of the gospel and the apostles presented for the modern reader in fresh English by a writer without pretensions as a biblical scholar, who was an authority on the Greek language in which virtually all of these texts have come down to us.
