Stark Naked Word

by Barclay M Newman

Stark Naked Word is an innovative-yet accurate-adaptation of the Gospel of John from the Greek New Testament, challenging contemporary readers with the person and teaching of Jesus.An adaptation differs from a translation in that it imports and integrates imagery foreign to the biblical culture, while remaining faithful to the meaning of the biblical text. For example:What's the WordJohn 1.1-18"Word ... in the beginning with God... truly God from the very beginning ... this one called Word!"Through Word-the source of life and light- God created all that exists and brought to everything... a light no darkness has ever, nor can ever dim.""John the messenger came to proclaim the light... and lead the world to embrace its brightness-yet he was merely a messenger of light... entering the world to illumine everyone."Word ... in the world ... unknown to the world-although the one through whom... the world came into being."As you read and reread Stark Naked Word you will constantly discover relevant and rewarding insights for bringing your own personal scene into sync with Jesus, the Source of God's kindness and truth come down.
