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.
