After having finished my translation of John’s Revelation — though the John of the Revelation does not appear to be the same John as that of the Gospel — I decided that my next translation should be John’s Gospel (or, more accurately, the Gospel according to John, Τὸ εὐαγγέλιον κατὰ Ἰωάννην). The reason for my having chosen this particular book over any of the other ones is rather simple one — and quite literally: it is simply one of the simplest to read books in the New Testament (language- and grammar-wise). And as my Greek proficiency has yet to increase to the point at which I will be able to easily read and translate books such as Hebrews, I decided it would be a good place to continue my endeavour of translating the entirety of the New Testament.
The translation is currently still a work in progress. A copy cannot be obtained at present. Check git.marvinjohanning.de for further information. The Git repository contains the LaTeX source code which can be compiled into the finished document, if you so desire.

The Apocalypse of John is one of the most fascinating books of the entire New Testament; it is filled to the brim with colourful and powerful imagery and is as suspenseful as any modern story about the end of the World. In this new and modern translation, you will find not only a pleasant-to-read (but still faithful to the original) edition of the Revelation, but also the original Greek text on the opposite page and plenty of notes to help you understand the original scripture.
+I have been working on my own translation of the Revelation for quite a while now and decided it was time to finally publish it as a book. It is published and printed by the Books on Demand GmbH in Germany. The initial release consists of an e-book and a dust-jacketed hard-cover, with the latter costing €25.99 and the former being entirely free. A cheaper (probably around €14.99) paperback version will also be released over the course of the next few months.

People living in the US will — for now, at any rate — have to order the book from Amazon UK. I am working on getting a paperback version released worldwide, so that this problem can be solved.
There are numerous ways of obtaining your own copy of the book; the most complicated one would be the acquisition of the book’s source code and compiling it yourself. The second, and perhaps easier way, of obtaining a digital copy of the book is to either read it online (see below) or to download the original e-book. If you prefer physical media, you can also buy the book directly from your local book store by providing them with the ISBN (978-3-7543-2897-2). The book will be printed on demand and should generally arrive within a week or so.

Despite my adoration for physical media, digital ones have advantages that make them rather appealing in certain situations; and therefore, I decided to present some interesting programs and apps that I use so that you may enhance your learning experience with them — as I have enhanced mine, too.
The Apocalypse — an Ancient Greek word meaning Revelation — of John is probably one of the most suspenseful — if not the most suspenseful — book of the New Testament. It is filled to the brim with rather outworldly experiences and visions and includes many extraordinary figures and events, such as a dragon with seven heads and the Second Coming.

-The style in which it was written is a somewhat simple one and I have met a handful of people that outright claim the language of the Apocalypse to be outright bad; and whilst, indeed, it is not the most eloquently written Greek of the New Testament — if eloquence were an award it would, undoubtedly, be given to Hebrews — the exciting and suspenseful content make up for its lack of linguistic prestige.
