The Restored New Testament: A New Translation with Commentary, Including the Gnostic Gospels Thomas, Mary, and Judas

Review

Starred Review. In an achievement remarkable by almost any standard, and surely one of the events of the year in publishing, renowned poet and scholar Barnstone has created a new and lavish translation almost transformation of the canonical and noncanonical books associated with the New Testament....The high bar Barnstone has set for himself is the creation of an English-language Scripture that will move poets much as the 1611 King James Version moved Milton and Blake. Only time will tell if Barnstone has achieved his goal, but his work is fascinating, invigorating, and often beautiful. Essential. "This heroic enterprise, an expansive single-handed edition of the New Testament, is a substantial addition to the sixty-odd publications of the poet and translator Willis Barnstone. --Frank Kermode"

From the Back Cover

Praise for The Restored New Testament: “Barnstone’s new English version of the core texts of Christian scripture is almost startling in its freshness. Scraping away many centuries of stylistic fussiness and supersessionist distortion, he gives us a set of Gospel narratives that are bold and direct in their simplicity and that show how steeped the first Christians were in the Jewish world from which they derived.”―Robert Alter “Willis Barnstone’s The Restored New Testament is both an eloquent, fresh translation of the Four Gospels and of Revelation, and also a superb act of restoration, in which these Christian scriptures are returned to their Judaic origins and context. The introductory material is wise and poignant, and makes an authentic contribution to the common reader’s understanding of the Gospels.”―Harold Bloom “Willis Barnstone’s The Restored New Testament is breathtaking, new, astounding. It is a courageous, a daring book; but, by some magic, it appears not nouveau and experimental but deeply rooted and ancient. Did you think Jerome’s or Tyndale’s or James’s ‘Song of the Sparrows’ from Matthew was thrilling? Look at Barnstone’s. Or look at his version of Paul’s heartbreaking lines of love in Corinthians 13. If Barnstone, through a long life of poetry, translation, story, and memoir, in language after language, had nothing else but this book, it would be a lifetime of extraordinary achievement. We are blessed by it.”―Gerald Stern “Much will always remain obscure about the humane and undogmatic rabbi Yeshua, who may or may not have aspired to be his people’s prophesied Messiah. Indeed, there is no uncontested evidence that he ever lived. Nevertheless, he is the protagonist of narratives as powerful as The Iliad in their quite opposite spirit. What we learn from Willis Barnstone is that the gentle teacher who can still be discerned in those stories had little in common with the man-god whose cult, over two millennia, has licensed the persecution of Yeshua's own folk. The always amazing Barnstone has outdone even himself in this beautiful, scholarly, yet profoundly subversive book.”―Frederick Crews

I am not an academic scholar as in some of the critiques posted. Simply, I feel this important New Translation to be vibrant, sensitive and poetic. The passages that I am familiar with have new illumination. The footnotes add to the dynamics in identifying the Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew names giving color and new vision to historical literature. I love saying and thinking Yeshua, Yohanan, Loukas and Shaul; there is such beauty in the authentic.Marc Chagall's powerful symbolism in The White Crucifixion chosen for the jacket, connects beautifully with WIllis Barnstone's translation - and the favorite painting of Pope Francis - This is a book I'll treasure, share, pass on. I understand and appreciate the simple clarity within the depth of each passage... A brilliant book.

Glad I didn't buy the new one. This one perfect for way less thanks.

I have been looking for a new testament which will explain the various flaws in other translations. I have read widely and have ordered almost every known bible translation. Very recently I was trying to reconcile Hebrews 10:5 and Psalm 40:6 and emailed a bible and Hebrew scholar, who has translated the bible recently for help and he could not shed much light on the issue.I read Mr Barnstone's translation - in the new testament and I realized what the discrepancy was.I use his translation as my new testament...while I carry around another book for the old testament:-)Best translation, I have had access to. It may not sound like an average bible; but based on translation history, with issues with lost manuscripts etc. this translation is the best. Mr. Barnstone is a Gifted Translator - I see him as one of G-d's Gift to His Body....

I enjoyed reading this version of the New Testament. I liked how the original names of the writers were used. The commentary and Afterward are essential pieces of this well put-together book. The composition was fairly unbiased and presented clearly. I must mention again how excellent the commentary is.As for the Gnostic Gospels portion of the book: I do not believe in the absolute validity of these books though they are excellent educational reading. I am pretty skeptical of anything extra-biblical (but then I am skeptical of the validity of the English translation of the Bible as well so that is neither here nor there). I would only recommend the reading of the Gnostic Gospels to those with strong faith in Jesus who are seeking His truth. I do feel there is some misleading information contained in the Gnostic Gospels (even the term Gnostic is questionable) and I hope that readers take the study of extra-biblical books such as these with a grain of salt. In all, it is worth taking the time to ponder over it.

In his 1,500-page book, THE RESTORED NEW TESTAMENT: A NEW TRANSLATION WITH COMMENTARY, INCLUDING THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS THOMAS, MARY, AND JUDAS (2009), Willis Barnstone gives us poetic translations of the New Testament and of three non-canonical gospels. His various introductory essays are short, sharply focused, accessible, and well informed, as are his various annotations throughout the text.Was there, or was there not, a historical first-century Jew named Yeshua who became the central character in the greatest story ever told?If there was no such historical person, then the greatest story ever told is not fact, but fiction.But if the greatest story ever told is not fact but fiction, then what prompted the first-century Jews who made up this fictional story, to make it up?If it were a fictional story, the central character would appear to be all the more improbable.If we were to assume for the sake of discussion that there may have been a historical Jew named Yeshua who became the central character in the greatest story ever told, then we would have to allow that he appears to be an improbable character, and his story as recounted in the four narrative canonical gospels is an improbable story.For example, consider the story about his death by crucifixion under the Roman Empire. As the story goes, the local authority of the Roman Empire was Pontius Pilate. Pilate supposedly ordered the execution of Yeshua on the charge that he was supposedly claiming to be King of the Jews. The Roman Empire had a no tolerance policy regarding insurrection.But if Pilate ordered the execution of Yeshua because he suspected him to be an insurrectionist, then why didn't Pilate have Yeshua's followers rounded up and executed?But if we assume that Pilate just used the trumped-up charge as a pretext for executing Yeshua, then we would probably assume that the real reason Pilate had Yeshua executed was crowd control in Jerusalem at the time of the Passover.Basically, Barnstone agrees with Paula Fredriksen's main argument in her book JESUS OF NAZARETH: KING OF THE JEWS (1999). On page 15 of his book, he quotes her main argument on page 8 of her book:"The single most solid fact about Jesus' life is his death: he was executed by the Roman prefect Pilate, on or around Passover, in the manner Rome reserved particularly for political insurrectionists, namely, crucifixion. Construction of Jesus primarily as a Jewish religious figure, one who challenged the authority of Jerusalem's priests, thus sit uncomfortably on his very political, Imperial death: Pilate would have known little and cared less about Jewish religious beliefs and intra-Jewish religious controversy."No doubt Pilate would have known little and cared less about Jewish religious beliefs and intra-Jewish religious controversy.No doubt the historical Yeshua would have been an implausible insurrectionist, and his followers would also have been implausible insurrectionists.However, even if we were to assume that Pilate may have been extremely nervous about crowd control, we would still have to wonder how Yeshua became the patsy to be executed as a symbolic warning to the crowd that further crucifixions might be ordered against others.After all, nothing in the gospel stories that have come down to us show Pilate's soldiers arresting Yeshua on the spot for any alleged disturbance of the crowd.To be sure, we learn of an alleged disturbance of the crowd by Yeshua, but Pilate's soldiers do not arrest him on the spot.In addition, we are told of Yeshua supposedly triumphal entry into Jerusalem at an earlier time. But of course Pilate's soldiers are not portrayed as arresting him at that time.In any event, at some juncture, Pilate's soldiers were somehow able to locate Yeshua in crowded Jerusalem and bring him before Pilate.Think about it. Jerusalem was crowded. But Pilate's soldiers were somehow able to find Yeshua and arrest him, even though they most likely had never seen him before.Wouldn't Pilate's soldiers have needed the help of someone who had seen Yeshua before and had some idea of where to look for him in the crowded city?Wouldn't such a guide have to have been a Jew to have been familiar enough with Yeshua to be able to point him out to Pilate's soldiers as the one to arrest?Wouldn't such a Jewish guide have to have had access to Pilate and his circle to get Pilate to dispatch soldiers to look for and locate and arrest Yeshua?Wouldn't Pilate have to have been extremely nervous about the crowd in Jerusalem to order his soldiers to locate Yeshua in the crowded city and bring him in? For soldiers who had presumably never seen Yeshua, wouldn't that search have been like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack?But what would it take to move Pilate to order his soldiers to arrest Yeshua?Now, if a Jewish informant who knew that earlier the crowd had yelled out something about Yeshua being like King David or being like the prophesied future king, would Pilate have been alarmed enough by the report of such yells to order his soldiers to arrest Yeshua?Remember that Pilate would have been hearing the report(s) about such yells when Jerusalem was very crowded. What would happen in the crowded city if certain enthusiasts began making such yells in the crowd?Wouldn't telling Pilate about such yells be like telling President George W. Bush that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?Pilate may have thought that executing Yeshua would be an effective pre-emptive crowd-control measure.As far as we know, there were no crowd disturbances in Jerusalem following the crucifixion of Yeshua.Following the crucifixion of Yeshua, his grief-stricken Jewish followers eventually constructed the greatest story ever told - with him as the central character. They figured that he had been set up by a fellow Jew (or Jews) in Jerusalem.To avoid any possible misunderstanding here, I want to say that I claim no originality for the line of reasoning that I have just set forth here. I am just reporting the line of reasoning that I have heard certain New Testament scholars present - a line of reasoning that Barnstone evidently is not familiar with.Finally, I want to mention Sherry Salman's book DREAMS OF TOTALITY (2013).No doubt the greatest story ever told with Yeshua as the central character involves a dream of totality.Salman urges us to give up our dreams of totality, if we can.

Rich in attention to detail, historical accuracy and contextualization. This book is a work of love that resets the New Testament into its Judaic origins, and what likely did and did not happen. The cultural practice of circumcision created a major impediment to messianic Judaism's (later Christianity's) spread to Hellenistic civilizations. The mental gymnastics conveyed in the writing of Paul are astonishing, and probably for obvious practical reasons. It's not light reading, but its faithfulness is profound and it puts new light on an oft told story that has affected us for 2000 years.

Very nice and very well done... great book for anyone's library and reference books...

Willis Barnstone is one of our great translators, one of our great thinkers on translation, and one fine poet.. This restoration is beautiful. No translation makes another superfluous but this one certainly is required reading.

It is difficult to add anything new to what has already been said regarding this wonderful new book on Theodore Roosevelt. The book has a hefty text of 817 pages, and is the longest book I have ever read. Be patient with it. It is certainly worth the time and effort even though you may not know much about Roosevelt other than he is one of the fixtures on Mount Rushmore. This book focuses primarily on his efforts on behalf of conserving the natural and wildlife resources in the United States despite the howls of protest from the titans of railroad companies, lumber barons, and mine owners who would rather rape the land in search of a few dirty dollars. This Republican president would never make it as a Republican today. Roosevelt was responsible for creating five national parks, eighteen national monuments, in addition to several federal bird reservations, national game preserves, and national forests. Much of what succeeding generations have been able to enjoy can be traced to the foresight of Theodore Roosevelt while his detractors would willingly have sacrificed the land for a few quick dollars.This book is also about other conservationist heroes such as John Muir, Iowa congressman John Lacey, and warden Guy Bradley who was murdered in the line of duty protecting birds from rookeries who killed for the feathers. It is also full of interesting anecdotes. When Roosevelt and Muir were camping in Yosemite Roosevelt was regaling Muir with tales of his big game hunting. A bored Muir finally asked, "When are you going to get beyond the boyishness of killing things?" Roosevelt responded with a "I guess you're right." Roosevelt considered Thomas Jefferson "vastly overrated", but felt he deserved greatness for his purchase of the Louisiana territory from France for fifteen million dollars. Roosevelt also didn't care for the gasoline engine because "they scared the birds."I knew Roosevelt was on Mount Rushmore for his contributions to conservation during the years of his presidency, but until I read this book I had no idea of the magnitude of his contributions and of others who contributed as well. We can be thankful that these men lived to preserve the beauty of America for future generations instead of jumping at the chance of temporal wealth through lumbering or mining. Don't be intimidated by the 817 pages that make up the text of this book. It may take you a while to get through it, but the time will certainly be worth it.I did find three minor typing errors the author may want to correct in a paperback format of the book. Page 465 the sixth line from the top. The last word "the" is printed twice. Page 477 the third line from the top. The word "the" is printed twice. Page 644 the fourth line from the bottom. The word "looking" is printed twice. I mention this in case the author may want to make these corrections in the paperback version of the book.

Theodore Roosevelt has been one of my favorite historical figures for almost my entire adult life. As someone who has a hard time narrowing down my own interests (let alone reading list), the breadth and depth of his pursuits is both fascinating and reassuring. As someone who enjoys being outside in wild spaces, his efforts in preserving them has been inspiring.He’s also one of the most intellectually challenging figures for me. Without delving too far into politics, I generally prefer the federal government to cast a smaller shadow in the average American’s life than is generally the case. TR’s progressive vision and use of the “bully pulpit” therefore give me pause, force me to reflect, and often leave me scratching my head and short of answers. However, one area where his inclinations and my beliefs intersect is in the preservation of the commons and protection of public lands.This is the central theme of Douglas Brinkley’s Wilderness Warrior. Calling it a biography of Roosevelt, while technically accurate, sells it short. Yes, you’ll read about his somewhat sickly youth. You’ll read about his time at Harvard (and see pictures of the pretty epic sideburns he wore in his early adulthood). You’ll read about the Rough Riders and his time as a rancher. But all of this revolves around the central theme of the fondness he developed early in life, thanks in part to his Uncle Robert, for nature – and the efforts he made as governor and president on its behalf.Brinkley is a professor at Rice University, author of almost two dozen books, and member of the Council on Foreign Affairs (which is to say, he certainly doesn’t need my review to sell his book – and not just because it’s been out for almost a decade). Among his other awards, this book earned the 2009 National Outdoor Book Award.Not surprisingly, then, the book is thoroughly researched and richly annotated. If you’re anything like me, its notes section will make your “want to read list” have a bit of a growth spurt. It takes short detours to explore the lives and exploits of people who lived where the rubber of TR’s initiatives met the proverbial road. While those detours add a bit to the work’s heft, I felt it placed this focused biography – this exploration of but one aspect of a larger-than-life man’s multi-faceted personality – in a broader and richer context.If there’s a downside to the book, it’s that its length and detail might make it less than accessible to a casual reader. While I’m enough of a bibliophile and history geek to have thoroughly enjoyed it, I have to admit that it’s not quite the sort of history or biography that feels more like a story. It doesn’t always move fast, and the sheer amount of information packed into it can make it at times a slightly dense read. But the reader sufficiently interested in Theodore Roosevelt, protection of wild spaces, or both, will be richly rewarded for their time.

not only is this book full of directions & patterns from the Civil War Era, it is also a history book. I love handwork & this era of our history, so making the items you learn the colors used, the garment or item this work is for & a little history of why these were used & created. If you are a Civil War buff, one that is into reenactments or someone like me that loves handwork, this book is a must have for your library! however, the patterns are not actual size, but with the help of a printer, you can print the patterns in the size needed. the actual book is 6" wide & 7.5" tall so it fits perfectly in a project bag for handy reference.

I have a lot my great Aunt June's patterns and hooks and threads. Maybe I can duplicate some of her beautiful work!!

Interesting book! Would have likes it if there were more patterns in it, but over all very interesting!

Excellent.
