The Greek scholar William Lorimer spent the last ten years of his life working on this project. Each Gospel has a different form of Scots to match the different forms of Greek used by the various apostles & scribes & the vigour & immediacy of the language is everywhere apparent. Transcribed edited & published by his son Robin Lorimer this scholarly & dramatically fresh reading of an already familiar text caused a sensation when it first appeared in 1983. Beyond the poetry of the King James version here are the voices of the disciples themselves speaking as they undoubtedly did in plain braid Galilee.
