It. The author dons not announce
whether he purpoacH covering the Old
Testament or not. Only two volumes
re out thus far. though all tho others
ire In pi-ens.
.The first volume gives the Gospel of
Rt. Mark; the second contains St. Mat
thew, together with the Kplstles of St.
Peter. St. Judo and St. James, which
Mr. Ballentino considers to belong to
the same period. The third volume Is
to contain the Gospel according to St.
Luke and the Acts of the Apostles; the
fourth and fifth will give the Epistles
of St. Paul. Including the Kplstle to the
Hebrews; and In the sixth volume the
Gospel, tho Kplstles and the Hovelatlon
of St. John will be published together.
This translation has been made In
modern Alnerlcan Idiomatic English,
for modern American readers. Much
Care has been devoted to the typogra
phical arrangement. Prose Is printed
b prose, and poetry as poetry. He
brew parallelisms are Indicated plainly
nd graphically. As Christ's words to
the people of His day and generation
were plain, simple and homely, so this
translation teljs again the same great
truths In the same simple language of
cur own day and native land.
Mr. Ballentine uses dollars and cents,
not pounds, shillings, pence and farth
ings. He makes some popular changes,
too "charger" to "dish"; "mammon"
to money"; "watch of the night," first
hour," etc., to our present designations
of time. He drops all antlquarianlsms,
ituch as the final "eths" of the verbs;
he employs quotation marks and thus
escapes the necessity of repeating "he
wild." Ho prints quotations from the
Old Testament In somewhat smaller
type. In Matthew's Gospel, he tries
to reproduce the effect of the Hebraic
rythm by the free use of parallelisms
in printing.
On picking up one or these beautiful
ly printed little volumes they are not
too large to put In the pocket one Is
struck with the fact that there is no
numbering or breaking Into verses, but
that the text looks as attractive as
that of any book of today. The print
runs not In the narrow columns as In
the old Bible, but acioss the page. The
conversational parts uie arranged as
In all modern stories, after the method
of Henri Laserre In bis Les Saints
Kvangiles, Mr. Ballentine giving the
French author full credit for this novel
nnd striking featuie. Probably few
people care for grammatical details,
but scholars will be glad to know that
Mr. Ballentine has restored to the Eng
lish much of the force and beauty it
has lost In translation, his faithful ren
dering of the tenses of the original
Greek being what the Sunday School
Times reviewer calls the greatest In
novation In the work. Wllkes-Barre
