Synopsis
In making the Scots translation of the New Testament W.L. Lorimer undertook the task of recreating Scots prose, ransacking all available oral and literary linguistic sources and scrutinizing upwards of 180 other translations in many languages. He took pains to reflect the range of style of the various authors thus enabling him to demonstrate the variety, vigour and vitality of Scots prose.
