The four Gospels from the widely acclaimed modern literary classic The New Testament in Scots are now being made available in an audio version for the first time. Actor Tom Fleming's reading brings out the poetry, wit and humanity of William Lorimer's translation in a way which speaks to everyone.
'The New Testament in Scots is much more like the language of Jesus, who spoke and preached in Galilean Aramaic, his local vernacular....than is the Authorised Version. Aramaic, whose relation to Hebrew can be compared to that of Scots to English, was the popular language of much of the Middle East in Jesus' time...To translate the Greek New Testament into Scots is thus to render it into a language which brings us closer to the voice of Jesus than any other translation I know of.'
David Daiches
William Laughton Lorimer devoted the last decade of his life to translating the New Testament into Scots. His son Robin transcribed, edited and published it.
