This foreword is here totell a bit more of the history of this remarkable book and why you shouldread it. From the late 30s to the late 50s, my father, Charles Templeton, (known then as Chuck Templeton) was oneof the best known evangelists in North America. He and his best friendBilly Graham toured the USA, Canada and the World preaching about Jesus.In 1948, my father started work on a challenge most biblical scholars haddeclared to be too difficult -- a synthesis of the 4 main books of theNew Testament into one narrative. This is difficult because even the first three don'tagree completely, and the book of John is quite different from theothers.Here is the endorsement Rev. Billy Graham offered for the dustjacket:The idea of someone synthesizing the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke andJohn into a single biography of the life of Christ and entitling itJesus is an excellent one. It helps to accomodate both theoutsider to Christianity looking in and the devout believer in Christ intheir respective attempts to get the total picture of the life of Jesusas a whole.I would also like to commend Charles Templeton, who claims to be anagnostic, for overall honesty in not letting interpretive biases creepinto this presentation. Rather he has let the Gospel record speak foritself. Of course there are arbitrary decisions which had to be madewith regard to the chronology of events in the life of our Lord and theactual sequence of His teaching, a few of which I would have perhapsplaced in slightly different order, but none of these affect thecardinal doctrines of historic Christianity.All in all it is my hope that this publication will have a deep andabiding impact on its readers equally in the areas of evangelism,edification and education.However, today if you've heard of Charles Templeton's religious career,it is because in the late '50s he gave up his faith, and for the rest of hislife, until his death in 2001, he was an agnostic. His last bookwas entitledFarewell to God.In spiteof this, he remained fascinated with the life and philosophy of Jesus theman even if he no longer felt him to be Jesus the divine.As such, in the early '70s he sought to complete his work, and using hisimproved writing skills (he had since become Canada's leading journalistand editor and would become a writer of bestselling fiction) he completedthe task, paraphrasing the blending of the 4 books into modern English.Of course, there was doubt as to whether people would accept a Bible versionwritten by such a famous apostate. To remedy this, a board of recognizedbiblical scholars from the church and academia was convened. They reviewedthe work for biblical accuracy and assured that it contained all that Jesussaid and did -- nothing less, and nothing more. So why write and publish such a book, if one is not devout? Quite simply,the New Testament is one of the most important books of world history,regardless ofwhether you believe in the divinity of its subject or not. It is thephilosophical underpinning for most of the world's powerful nations, andthe foundation of faith for a billion Christians and related creeds.Yet at the same time, remarkably few (even among the faithful) have reallyread it in full. The "standard" translations are dense, and in languagearchaic tomost modern readers. No matter who you are, you should read this book,for without it you can't understand much of western history. This paraphrase willallow many more to access the work. At the end, an index links each page with the King James bible verses that were thesource material.The book reached the bestseller lists in 1973, and was published in manyeditions and translations around the world, but is now out of print.I've now put this work up online for free. Feel free to link to the work, orto print out a personal copy. However it remains Copyright © 1973 bythe Estate of Charles Templeton, so contact me if you wish to print multiplecopies or make it available elsewhere in electronic form.To The PrefaceYou should also consider reading Hints on readinga book on a computer.Other commentaries:An excellent book that should be read by every evangelical Christian. Itis thoroughly evangelical, consservative and fundamental. Every basicdoctrine of the Christian church is to be heard loud and clear. I thinkit is a great piece of work. -- Dr. Paul Smith, The People's Church, TorontoI like to think that the conversations reworded in the text are what wemight have heard if we had walked the streets of Jerusalem two thousandyears ago. -- Winnipeg TribuneHere at last is a harmony of the Gospels that makes the old, oldstory live. I was prepared for a work that would soar, and it does!Wherever I have dipped into this anagram of the Gospels I have strucksound scholarship and forceful prose. The story of Jesus is rendered in alinguistic style that is neither breezy nor pedantic but freshly up todate." - Dr. Ernest T. Campbell, The Riverside Church, New York |
