by Hugh J. Schonfield D.s.Litt. , Dr. Schonfield, who is a Jew, has recently undertaken a translation of the New Testament, which appeared as The Authentic New Testament. In making his translation he noticed the accuracy of the Gospels in quoting Jewish prayers current in the first century. In this talk he discusses some of the forms of benediction and doxology employed in the synagogue and in daily life, and illustrates from the New Testament their use by Jesus and in the Epistles of Paul.
