New Testament - 1937
This translation of the New Testament is rather interesting. Instead of the regular 27 Books of the New Testament, Wallace identified 43 different works including letters by Apollos and Barnabas. Each gospel is divided into a number of sections which are selected from different chapters and then recombined and rearranged. For instance, a section from John's Gospel called "The Bread of Life" contains "parts of chapters vi, vii" and the "Cleansing of the Temple" from chapter 2 is placed after the Palm Sunday section which has parts of chapters 10 and 12. Overall, it is rather confusing and difficult to follow.
Wallace was a Methodist and member of the New York East Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Psalms - 1940
In this translation of the Psalms Wallace does not present them in canonical order; rather, he presents them as a series of prayers, collects, and praises. He further distinguishes between that those that use the tetragrammaton (which he translates as Jehovah) and those that use the name "El" for God. In his foreword he states< "Our present Hebrew text, because of malevolent purpose, has now all kinds of confusions. A cloven foot has left its tracks clearly along the road. My hope is that my work may be helpful to those who hold faith in God and love well-doing."
