God's New Covenant

The Cassirer New Testament is a distinctive literary rendering of the New Testament, the work of a scholar of Kant and of the classical languages who came to Christian faith late in life. Its scope is the New Testament entire, translated from Greek and based on the Greek New Testament rather than derived from any earlier English version; it is a fresh translation, not a revision in the line of the Authorized Version and its successors. The approach is literary and philosophical, reflecting the translator's training in ancient languages and in the history of thought, and readers have often praised it for fresh phrasing that falls outside traditional church vocabulary. It belongs to the broad twentieth-century movement of individual, single-translator English versions, which alongside the committee-produced translations of the period sought to render the Greek text anew for modern readers.
