Publisher's Note
In Three Gospels, Reynolds Price returns to the central story on which he has concentrated through thirty years of study, teaching, and translation - the fourfold account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, an observant Jew who taught, healed, and died obscurely in a small province of the Roman empire during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius Caesar. Bypassing the Gospels of Matthew and Luke as secondary, Price revises his earlier translation of the breakneck and vivid Gospel of Mark (the oldest gospel); he provides a literal but startlingly eloquent translation of the Gospel of John (the gospel derived from apparent eyewitness); and he adds an entirely new gospel of his own, "An Honest Account of a Memorable Life". This new gospel, like the whole of the volume, is grounded meticulously in the earliest known historical and theological evidence; and it aims to render the highest possible contemporary justice to the acts and teachings of Jesus. To introduce his translations - closer to the original Greek than perhaps any other translations - Price has provided richly informative prefaces that probe the strategies and the inexplicable originality of the two prime gospel writers; and in a preface to his own gospel, he offers insight into his reasons for creating a modern gospel and his own restrained methods for proceeding.
Industry reviews
"This book brims with maturity, with unconcealed concern and warmth, and reveals the affinities to the Bible's narratives that often underlie (however unspoken) a continued literary production of the nature and stature of Reynolds Price's." Washington Post Book World - Larry Woiwode (05/05/1996) "These two gospels, and Price's own story, are wonderfully inviting, enchanting in their narration--they tug at the mind and the heart, both. Price is a careful Biblical scholar in all three gospels..." Boston Book Review - Robert Coles (06/19/1996) "...Price's honest account is a story of simple human emotions, of political forces, and unfulfilled yearnings. Insignificant things; people just trying to get by. Among them, Jesus himself, fighting his own doubts until, on Mount Hermon, they are finally dispelled by a voice from the clouds. Thus do insignificant lives change history. And thus does Price's glorious project remind us once again of the almost unbelievable paradox at the heart of the stories of Jesus: A man was the son of God." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Christopher Tilghman (06/30/1996) "Forget that you ever read a Gospel or heard of Jesus. Read the texts afresh, in a new and relatively literal translation, and listen. This, Price explains, rather than yet another liturgical or 'official' version, is his hope for his readers. He tells us that his starting point is literary: he sees the Gospels as stories that have exerted an unequaled pull on human minds." Sbrockey
