Author Description

If you’ve read the New Testament as many times as I have, and loved it, then you also enjoy reading a variety of translations to get a fuller flavor and better sense of what is being said. This large book is the complete New Testament, translated from a very unique perspective.If it bothers you that, instead of “brothers,” you’re going to read “same-wombs,” then this might not be a good translation to read often. What’s going on here, is that a lot of intriguing ultra-literal, alternative translation is being used to let our hearts listen again to the wind-spirit blowing in our midst. The word we translate as “brothers,” is a two-part Greek word from, you guessed it, “same” and “womb.” When the Koine culture used a word to describe siblings, they thought about how they all came from the same womb. So there are tons of words like this, as well as alternative translations. The most notorious alternative in the Ultra is translating “God” as “quantum-theosity.” In the Details section of this book, that rendering is explained more fully, but suffice it to say that our Enlgish word God is not the exact equivalent of the original word, THEOS. We need a word (or phrase) that captures more fully the true nature of the God within which we all live and move and have our being.The best way to read the Ultra is alongside another English translation until you get more of a feel for the ultra-literal and alternative language used. After awhile, you’ll like reading “upward-standing” instead of “resurrection.” Or, maybe, you won’t. At any rate, you will have learned a ton.Or to say it another way: Employing a combination of literalistic translation from Greek with openness to the wind of quantum-theosity, the Ultra New Testament allows the reader to taste the goodness of life. In the Ultra, the Bible is read from a natural perspective. With fresh language, and living wind moving within, the reader is enabled to taste truth.
