| Publisher Description: Luke's Gospel contains narrative history, genealogy, sermons, parables (19 of them), and prophesy. Luke, a doctor and a Greek-speaking Christian, accompanied Paul on mission journeys, which he wrote about in the Acts of the Apostles. This Gospel was written to record an accurate account of the life of Jesus Christ. Luke wrote presenting Jesus as the "Son of Man," and the Savior of all humanity, using a literary level of Greek to reach the non-Jewish world. While the Cherokee Gospels were translated directly from the Greek Textus Receptus rather than from an existing translation such as the King James Version, response from Cherokee clergy and language teachers infomred us that they would prefer the English be taken from the King James. We present each verse in Old Syllabary, New Syllabary, and phonetic Cherokee as well as English to promote study of the Cherokee language. |
