Richmond Lattimore, poet and translator of Greek classics, has translated the four Gospels and added them to his version of the Revelation of John. He has aimed to capture the style and syntax of the original texts by adhering closely to the simple beauty of the Greek, and to approach the words of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, not as a biblical scholar, but as an authority on the language in which they have come down to us.

Richard 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 is 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 these texts have come down to us.
