Juvencus' Evangeliorum libri IV, or "The Four Books of the
Gospels," is a verse rendering of the gospel narrative written ca.
330 CE. Consisting of around 3200 hexameter lines, it is the first
of the Latin "Biblical epics" to appear in antiquity, and the first
classicizing, hexameter poem on a Christian topic to appear in the
western tradition. As such, it is an important text in literary and
cultural history. This is the first English translation of the
entire poem. The lack of a full English translation has kept many
scholars and students, particularly those outside of Classics, and
many educated general readers from discovering it. With a thorough
introduction to aid in the interpretation and appreciation of the
text this clear and accessible English translation will enable a
clearer understanding of the importance of Juvencus' work to later
Latin poetry and to the early Church.
