John Cunyus

John Cunyus is a free-lance writer. He

spent thirty-six years in ordained ministry,

serving churches in Texas, becoming

involved at the same time with the

non-denominational "Latin Testament

Project."

In 2008, Cunyus and Searchlight Press

began a full-scale translation of St. Jerome's

Vulgate Bible into American English.

Incorporating the latest textual advances

from Roger Gryson of the German Bible

Society, Cunyus and Searchlight set out to

craft an edition that would capture both the

vigor and simplicity of Saint Jerome's late

4th Century CE classic.

Each volume contains introductory materials

to both the Vulgate as a whole and to the

individual books translated. Cunyus

explains the history of the Vulgate and, more

importantly, why a Vulgate translation

matters today.
