The Cotton Patch Gospel recasts the stories of Jesus and the
letters of Paul and Peter into the language of the mid-20th century
South. Born out of the Civil Rights struggle, these now classic
translations of much of the New Testament bring the far-away places
of Scipture closer to home: Gainesville, Selma, Birmingham,
Atlanta, Washington, D.C. As Jordan once wrote, "While there have
been many excellent translations of the Scriptures into modern
English, they still have left us stranded in the long-distant past.
We need to have the good news come to us not only in our own tongue
but in our own time. We want to be participants in the faith, not
merely spectators."
