This version consists of the Hellenic fragments, freed from the pseudo-Jewishinterpolations, harmonized, and done into English verse and prose, with introductory analyses,and commentaries, giving an interpretation according to ancient philosophy and psychology, and anew literal translation of the Synoptic Gospels, with introduction and commentaries, by JamesMorgan Pryse.

In the work here presented, the portions of the New Testament which the authorholds to be genuine are construed in verse. The work is not concerned with theological views orany creeds, dogmas, and doctrines of the many Christian sects. For the author, while cherishingthe greatest respect for all that is pure and noble in the Christian religion and of allreligions, has never been a Christian. In interpreting the New Testament from a non-sectarianpoint of view, he has tried to avoid offending needlessly those who cling to one or another formof Christian faith.

He undertook the uncongenial task of showing, by dissecting the texts of theGospels, that the founders of the Christian church, deliberately falsified that text throughout.He rejects as spurious many passages of the Gospels, all of The Acts, and nearly everything inthe Epistles. The Apocalyse is treated as a prose version of a Greek Mystery-poem.

It contains portions of the Four Gospels, three Pauline epistles, and the Bookof Revelation, along with considerable commentary. Included are numerous drawings and pictureswhose sources are Greek mythology.
