Citizens of the Kingdom – A Society Without Status is a book written by the translator of the Pioneers’ New Testament. In it, she examines the New Testament model of the church as a community of people committed to each others’ welfare as they together seek both to serve the larger world, and to care for and support each other.

The Pioneers' New Testament 
Greetings Ruth:
I contacted you previously regarding self publishing of the Pioneers’ New Testament through Lulu Publushing. Since then I self published through Lulu a re-formatted elecrtonic Word document of your Citizens book.
This is a private, print on demand, 6″ by 9″ paperback publication avaliable only to me. It costs me less than $7 per print copy. I wanted to mail you one of the 3 copies I had made for your review.
I do believe this could be a good way to re-publish your Pioneers’ New Testament at a reasonable cost and gain more widespread exposure of your translation (which I would encourage you to consider – in both paperback and hardcover including a hradcover versions with your translation notes).
If you have interest in seeing a hard copy produced by Lulu, let me know.
On a related matter, I was interested in knowing whether or not you have come across a partial NT translation (Gospels, Johns letters and Revelation) by David Robert Palmer. Both you and he put a great deal of emphasis on Greek verb tense and translation accuracy.
Regards,
Dave Lindemann
