The Cotton Patch Version of Hebrews and the General Epistles. Clarence Jordan (1912 - 1969). DESCRIPTION: The Cotton Patch Version of the New Testament is a colloquial translation with a Southern accent. Included in this volume are Jordan's translations of the Epistles of Hebrews, James, I & II Peter, I, II, & III John, and Jude. With the publication of this volume, all of Clarence Jordan's Cotton Patch translations are now available in book form. While the letters gathered here include a number of less familiar New Testament writings, the biblical vitality of these translations makes clear their startling relevance for today. The reader will find here all the passion, intensity and directness which made Clarence Jordan famous for his interpretations of the Scriptures in contemporary language. More than a translator, he explodes in our ears the mighty ideas which transformed the early disciples and enabled them to turn their world upside down.
