| Summary | The "Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech" by R.F. Weymouth is a modern translation of the New Testament written in the early 20th century. Initially published in the late 1900s, it aims to present the New Testament in contemporary English, making the text accessible to modern readers while maintaining fidelity to the original Greek sources. The book serves as a scholarly, yet approachable rendition of the Christian scriptures, intended for both personal study and academic reference. This translation encompasses the entirety of the New Testament, with special attention given to the nuances of the Greek language and its idiomatic expressions. Weymouth's approach strives for accuracy and clarity by avoiding unnecessary literalism that could cloud the original meaning. The volume includes footnotes and commentary to support the text, offering insights into the choices made in translation and the context of various passages. Overall, the "Weymouth New Testament" serves as both a studied resource for believers and a valuable tool for those exploring the foundational texts of Christianity without the barrier of archaic language.
