Refreshing

Cassirer's translation of the New Testament is a refreshing, invigorating read. Scripture comes alive under his efforts and his unique Jewish/Christian perspective shows through. Buy this living word and obey what you hear. Bruce Fogerty

Modern British Translation

The translator of God's New Covenant, Heinz Cassirer, was an Oxford professor in philosophy just like his father, the famous Ernst Cassirer. He was Jewish by race, but was not religious. Then, at around the age of 50, he became a Jewish Christian. Cassirer's translation is modern and not literal. With the publisher's permission, I will quote a passage from one of the Apostle Paul's epistles in the God's New Covenant translation to give you a better idea of what this version is like: "Surely, you know that wrongdoers will obtain no share in the kingdom of God. Do not allow yourselves to be deluded. It is not those engaging in fornication, the idolaters, the adulterers, those acting as partners in unnatural vice, the sodomites, the thieves, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the extortioners, who will obtain a share in the kingdom of God. And such some of you once were. But you washed yourselves clean, you have been made holy, you have been accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
