Description
The New Testament in Scots is a unique and scholarly translation of the New Testament, rendered into Scots. The project, undertaken by William Lorimer over the last ten years of his life, resulted in a vigourous and immediate reading of the text, with each Gospel featuring a different form of Scots to match the various forms of Greek used by the apostles and scribes. Transcribed, edited and published by his son Robin Lorimer, this edition brings to life the voices of the disciples themselves, speaking in 'plain braid Galilee'. The result is a fresh and dramatic reading of an already familiar text, one that offers a new perspective on the New Testament. This edition is a valuable resource for those interested in biblical studies, literary collections, and the history of translation.
