Excerpt from The Magical Message According to Ioannes: Commonly Called the Gospel According to (St.) John, a Verbatim Translation From the Greek Done in Modern English With Introductory Essays and NotesThis work is a literal translation of the fourth Eva/regal, preserving its philosophical and mys tical terminology, and, as far as possible, the peculiarities of its literary form. The modern English style is followed in this translation, not only for the sake of clearness, but also because it fairly represents the simple, homely, and halting Greek of the Evangel. The lack of English equivalents for many of the Greek words and phrases makes it impossible to ren der these satisfactorily in some passages, but in all such cases explanatory foot-notes are added, giving definitions and more adequate renderings than could be observed in the close and literal translation. These notes, being in dexed, form a glossary of all the important words in the Eva/ngel, thus enabling the reader, even if unacquainted with the Greek language, to follow the terminology as closely in the trans lation as could be done in the Greek text itself, and affording him almost every advantage to be had from a study of the original.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
