THE FOUR GOSPELS. Translated into Modern English from the Authorized and Revised Versions. By Ernest Bilton. Cloth. $1.00.
A cheap edition of a new translation of the Gospels, having a great run of popularity in the religious circles of Great Britain.
The author has taken the authorised version as it stands, availing himself of many corrections suggested by the revised version, and has given the apparent meaning of the text in the plainest possible language, the whole object being the simplification of the narratives of the Evangelists. It is not expected that this rendering will supersede the accepted version. The author evidently feels that he is not without hope that it may lead to the serious consideration, in proper quarters, of the advisability of providing the people with an authorised translation of the Scriptures into the “vulgar tongue,” not of the sixteenth but of the nineteenth century.
