"Cotton Patch" Gospel is a colloquial translation of most of the New Testament by Baptist minister Clarence Jordan. Jordan's goal was to communicate the New Testament in the idiom of the South so that "plain folks" could better understand it. The script for the musical adaptation, written by Atlanta-based actor Tom Key and stage director Russell Treyz with music and lyrics by Harry Chapin, was based on Jordan's version of the Gospels of Matthew and John. Like Jordan's original, the musical is intended to provide a modern twist on the Gospel message.
