- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Cotton Patch Gospel. The "Cotton Patch" Gospel is a colloquial translation of most of the New Testament by Southern Baptist minister Clarence Jordan. (Jordan also founded the Christian community Koinonia Farm, in Sumter County, near Americus.) Between 1968 and 1973 Jordan published four Cotton Patch volumes: The Cotton Patch Version of Paul's Epistles, The Cotton Patch Version of Luke and Acts: Jesus' Doings and the Happenings, The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John: Including the Gospel of Matthew (Except for the "Begat" Verses) and the First Eight Chapters of the Gospel of John, and The Cotton Patch Version of Hebrews and the General Epistles. He did not attempt a translation of Revelation.
