J.B. Phillips New Testament

Phillips, in the Preface to The Book of Revelation: 

"In this book the translator is carried into another dimension... He is carried, not into some never-never land of fancy, but into the ever-ever land of God's eternal Values and Judgements".


"Although the majority of Christians quite cheerfully accept the inclusion of this mysterious book within the New Testament canon, my strong impression is that very few of them have read it in any detail."


On Revelation, from the autobiography The Price of Success:


"Certain themes emerge distinctly for the modern reader's profit:

(a) The absolute sovereignty of God, and his ultimate purpose to destroy all forms of evil.

(b) The inevitable judgments of God upon evil, upon the worship of false gods, which include riches, power and success.

(c) The necessity for patient endurance, the ultimate security being the knowledge that God is in control of history

(d) The existence of reality, represented here under such symbols as the New Jerusalem, set apart and secure from the battles and tribulations of earthly life, promises complete spiritual security to those who are faithful to God and his Christ.

Read by Peter Croft, youngest grandson of the late J.B. Phillips.

"May I beg you to read Mark’s work again… let the strong lines of this narrative build up for you, as they did for me, a vigorous portrait of the One who is matchless Man. When you see for yourself the stature and quality of that Man, it will not seem to you nearly so difficult to accept what Christians have always accepted - that the Son of Man was also the Son of God".
- J.B. Phillips, Plain Christianity (p.78)

 

“I find no trace at all in Mark’s Gospel of ‘gentle Jesus meek and mild’! I find instead a most powerful Figure who moves with confidence, cheerfulness and courage. He is a Man plainly in touch with the unseen world and plainly conscious that, though  fully human, He speaks with the authority of God Himself…" (p.71)

 

"The Man who moves with such confidence in the pages of Mark’s story is plainly One to whom the resources of God are always available." (p.74)
