Summary "The New Testament" by Leicester A. Sawyer is a religious text, specifically a translation of the Christian New Testament, written in the mid-19th century. This translation aims to provide a clearer and more precise rendering of the original Greek texts, emphasizing a literal interpretation without adding or removing content. Sawyer strategically arranges the sacred books chronologically and proposes improved divisions of chapters and verses, seeking to enhance the reader's understanding of the Scriptures. The opening of the work establishes Sawyer's intent to create an accurate and accessible translation of the New Testament, as he discusses the historical context of prior translations and the evolution of biblical texts over the centuries. He emphasizes the importance of a new translation that reflects the accumulated knowledge of biblical studies since the time of King James's Bible. The beginning sections include a preface detailing his methodology, followed by a genealogical account and the birth narrative of Jesus Christ, setting the stage for the subsequent narrative surrounding his life and teachings.
