I understand the editor's attempt to put quotes in modern English. Since the object of the work is to get the true message across, I have no issues others have had. In fact, since on some pages, the footnotes are longer than the text; it is clear the authors to great care in deciding the most accurate translation.
IF the authors are correct, many of Jesus' words are finally translated to their true meaning. Oft quoted translations have new and make more Christian sense.
This is a tough study, but reading the introduction alone can give one a sense that the contributors know their stuff.

All Christians are well acquainted with the four gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Roman Catholics are also familiar with the apocryphal gospels in their version of the Bible that is absent from the King James edition and most other Protestant versions of the Bible. Now in an expanded and updated fourth edition, "The Complete Gospels" as deftly compiled and knowledgeably edited by Robert J. Miller offers new translations of the four New Testament gospels; the Gospels of Thomas, Judas, and Mary; the Q Gospel; the Mystical Gospel of Mark; the Infancy Gospels of James and Thomas; the Egerton Gospel; the Gospel Oxrhynchus; the Gospels of the Hebrews, the Ebionites, and the Nazoreans. Enhanced with the inclusion of an extensive glossary, "The Complete Gospels" also offers nineteen informed and informative essays ranging from 'The Synoptic Puzzle' to 'Lost Gospels And "Non-Gospels". Of special note are eight black-and-white illustrations. An impressive work of meticulous and detailed scholarship, "The Complete Gospels" is a strongly recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library Christian Studies reference collections.

The Complete Gospels gives signficant insight into the early Christian writings that led to gospels. By looking at these various gospels, it becomes more evident as to what writings were not accepted by the church at large and why four were given the role of the most authentic memory. The introduction to the various gospels that I have thus far looked at has been helpful.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A long time ago in a far away land, a bunch of men got together and determined which gospels would go into the Bible…and which wouldn’t. And that has been a problem for me lately, as I wonder what we are missing. Surely the others weren’t completely trash, surely there was something in it that fleshed Jesus and his teachings out more. Then I found this book. The Christian geek in me really enjoyed getting and reading this book. It has all of the known gospels together, from the accepted 4 gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, to the lesser accepted, but still very interesting gospels, like the two Infancy Gospels of Thomas and James, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Judas, the text of Q, etc. I love reading the outside gospels because they give me more, more insight into Jesus, more insight into the characters surrounding him. The best part is that it is all in one place. The gospels in this book are translated into the Scholar’s Version which is introduced as a “a fresh translation from the original languages into living American English that is entirely free of ecclesiastical control”. I will say right now that I wish we had more than just this translated into this version because it was so easy to read and comprehend. This is really what you need when you are intellectually trying to delve deeply into the gospels. You don’t need to be caught up in the flowery languages, the thee’s and thou’s. You need to focus on the best, most understandable translation from the original text. This is exactly what this book gives, all in one place. So if the Christian geek in you, is like the Christian geek in me, and wants to delve more into ALL the gospels, you need to check this book out.

This edition is an update of the previous versions of the Complete Gospels. Although there is some material that was omitted relative to the third edition, for the most part this one is more inclusive, better organized, and reflects the ongoing scholarship. I assign this book as one of the basic texts in a class that I teach on the Gospels, and I think it is invaluable to illustrating the breadth and diversity of gospel material that was developed in the early years of Christianity, and to setting the four Gospels that eventually wound up in the Christian Bible into their historical and literary context. The physical dimensions of the printed book have also grown since the third edition, making it easier to read and follow the annotations and commentary. The Complete Gospels is a product of the famous (or infamous, depending on your orientation) Jesus Seminar, and the perspective of the commentaries is very much from that historical viewpoint. But even if you object to the Jesus Seminar's approach, the texts themselves and the extensive cross-references are valuable in themselves.
