Jesus: The Gospel According to Will

by Bill Arnold

Jesus in The Gospel According To Will speaks in the stylistic diction of the eloquent language of Will Shakespeare's England. The Shakespearean Age combined the Elizabethan, the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, and the Jacobean, the reign of James I (James is Jacob in Hebrew). The Will of Master Jesus conveys in Will Shakespeare's memorable poetic meters the mystery of the Holy Spirit. In the immortal words of George Saintbury in History Of Elizabethan Literature circa 1887, "The plays of Shakespeare and the English Bible are, and ever will be, the twin monuments not merely of their own period, but ofthe perfection of English, the complete expression of the literary capacities of the language." To begin with, many Shakespearean scholar have put forth that Will Shakespeare's greatest tragedy is not Hamlet, nor Othello, but the New Testament, the words of Jesus. And thusly, our story finds credibility in the relatively unknown history of Will Shakespeare and the disputed authorship of the Authorized Version of the Bible as it is known in England, or the KJV--King James Version as it's known in America. Inside Jesus: The Gospel According To Will, you will find the history of the KJV and the words of Jesus, and how they came to be togetherin this Shakespearean Age book. You will find the answer to the ultimate question: did Will Shakespeare have a hand in the translation of its text?
